Something very odd happened in one County in SD...look at a piece of research from a Freeper on another thread.

2000 elections SHANNON County Bush 1667 Gore 252

2002 congressional elections Johnson 2856 Thune 248

Something looks fishy there to me!"

Shannon county, SD, is home to the Sioux. The Pine Ridge Indian Reservation is located there. Folks may recognize one town - Wounded Knee.

Dog - that is hardly what is fishy. I've been in a math mode today, so let me run some more number by you.

Shannon county population = 12,466 [Source: US 2000 Census]
People under 18 = 5,647 [Source: US 2000 Census - derived: 45.3% of total pop.]
People of voting age = 6,819

YET(!!!) - (See post #127, this thread) - supposedly Shannon county has 6,990 voters. (On that thread, they used a population base of 12,793 for the county, not sure where they got those numbers, they are not the Census figures.)

This would mean there

hold on here--

ARE MORE REGISTERED VOTERS IN SHANNON COUNTY THAN PEOPLE OF VOTING AGE!!!!

(Even using the higher population figure quoted on that thread, that would mean all but EIGHT people in the county of voting age were registered to vote. Considering the statistical probabilily of felons, non-citizens, etc., among 6,900 folks, it would seem there would be more than eight who couldn't qualify to vote, for one reason or another.)

SOMETHING ISN'T MESHING WITH THE NUMBERS!!!

That is incorrect, with Bush and Gore vote totals reversed. This has always been a lib county, albeit always a thousand votes fewer than this time. The other thread has a table with several years of results showing so a bit after the initial misposting. There's plenty real stuff to be mad about, so lets stick to the truth.
