Are you sure? I hadn't heard that, although it wouldn't surprise me. I'll be the same thing holds true in Racine at the rate GOTV was registering "voters". If your stat about the number of registered voters is true, it's something we need to use to effect a change! When do we get the names so that they can be checked against the rolls of the dead?
I'm positive that unless the Milwaukee Election Commission wiped a heap of non-voters off the rolls, there are more "registered" voters than adults in Milwaukee. Going off of memory from numbers I dug up when the Milwaukee Election Commission was begging for 918,000 ballots, there were 385,000 registered voters as of the September election (and if I remember right, that number did NOT include same-day registrations at that election), and at most 450,000 adults in the city. There also was the story just before the election of over 20,000 registrations sent in between that election and the cut-off date not processed, bringing that up to a minimum of 405,000. Given that there also was a refusal to remove addresses that were proven to not exist from the rolls, another 84,000 same-day registrations would bring that number to 489,000 "registered" voters. By my math, that's at least 39,000 more voters than adults (and I am including felons still on probation and thus ineligible to vote).

If I were in Henderson, Nevada instead of Oak Creek, I'd open a book on it.

Those are actually open records, so I'd imagine you can get those when City Hall opens on Tuesday.
This sounds like a case for the ACLU
