Reply #7: too many registered voters in Cuyahoga county [View All]

[sergei kirov]

According to the US census the population in Cuyahoga county that is over 18 is 1,022916 as of July 2003. the population is dropping, so I did not bother to adjust for 2004. The number of registered voters is 1005807 or 98%. In an urban county it is highly unlikely that only 2% of residents are non citizens, this number must contain a lot of registrations that need to be purged from the roles. Using the inflated number of registered voters you get an 85% turn out. Now lets reduce the registered voters by 10%, probably the highest possible number that could be real but still an arbitrary selection. This gives us 920624 voters. This is 90% of the population registered. Now the turn out is 93%. Do we really think 93% actually turned out to vote? The real question would be to prove that only the Republicans were stuffing the ballot box and not also the Democrats.
