Unfortunately, you are correct.
One place in FL had 158.85% of registered voters, vote, IIRC. Beats Philly’s wimpy 116% in 2008, handily. Allen West’s area, IINM.
It gets more interesting. I just received this:
Breaking: Florida Showing Massive Voter Fraud
Many elections may not quite be settled just yet and this may open an entire can of worms across the country.
WatchdogWire reports, Only one precinct had less than 113% turnout. The unofficial vote count is 175,554 registered voters 247,713 vote cards cast (141.10% ). The National SEAL Museum, a St. Lucie county polling place, had 158.85% voter turn out, the highest in the county.
When asked about the 141% Supervisor of Elections Gertrude Walker stated, “They may have had something like that in Palm Beach County, but we’ve never seen that here.”
Review the statement of votes cast in St. Lucie County on November 6, 2012 here.
Supervisor of Elections Gertrude Walker posted to the SLC Elections website the following: The CANVASSING BOARD meeting scheduled for the recount on saturday, november 10, 2012 at 7:00 am has been rescheduled for wednesday, november 14, 2012 at 7:00 am at the supervisor of elections office, 4132 okeechobee road mall entrance 2.
So hey, it appears that Rep. Allen West was pretty well justified in calling for ballots and voting machines to be impounded. Of course that request was denied by a Florida judge.
| Position | Total Votes Cast |
|---|---|
| President | 5,551,310 |
| Senator | 5,446,293 |
| Attorney General | 5,393,460 |
| Auditor General | 5,316,244 |
| State Treasurer | 5,296,063 |
Additionally, two counties still have not sent in their full computerized totals - Wayne county is still holding back 15 out of their 36 Districts, and of course Philadelphia County is holding back 21 Districts out of their 1687. The notation on the web-page shows:
The differences in the totals puzzle me - why would someone vote for only some of the five? I didn't see anything listing other candidates, or Write-In totals. PA has an atrocious system!
You will find the same phenomenon in every state. More people vote for President than for Senator. More will vote for Senator (or Governor) than for any other statewide office.
It's an issue of awareness. Thanks to the advertising, every voter knows who's running for President and they have an opinion on who they want to win. A few will come to the Senator line, have no opinion and won't vote. Then, even more will arrive at the Attorney General line...and have never heard of either party. They won't vote. And so on...
