Not 7%, but 7 votes. CNN has still called it for Obama though. Do I smell a recount?
Check out the unofficial vote count:
Barack Obama 50.1% (2264 votes)
Hillary Clinton 49.9% (2257 votes)
This is a remarkable upending of expectations for Hillary Clinton, even if it is just Guam.
Update [2008-5-3 20:6:26 by Todd Beeton]:Edited above to note that these vote counts are unofficial per KUAM News:
In the strangest of circumstances that could only bring about the closest of races, Hillary Rodham Clinton finished with 49.9% of the vote of the Guam Democratic Caucus, just 7 votes shy of Barack Obama's total of 50.1%. While Obama led for the vast majority of the night's tallying, Clinton needed a strong finish in the municipality of Dededo, Guam's most populous village. And she did - gaining 61% of the 822 votes counted by the Democratic Party of Guam.Note: these are unofficial, uncertified results as tabulated by the Democratic Party of Guam.
Also, this is interesting:
The DPG noted a high number of spoiled ballots in Dededo.
