Didn't some of you guys look into the allegations of precincts in Philly having 99% turnout in the 2000 election? Did ya'll ever come across any evidence or precinct numbers where this was supposed to have occurred, anything besides just rumors?

I did a very systematic study of each precinct in Philadelphia, looking a turnout versus registration, and found no pattern of any vote fraud. Some black precincts had very low turnout, and some matched high turnout white precincts. There was one precinct with a 101% turnout, which I assume was a typo, and one with about 98%. Almost all precincts had turnouts less than 90%, and most less than 60%, including most black precincts. So any vote fraud would have to arise from having lots of phony registered voters that show up at the polls. But Philly's turnout vis a vis its population is not out of line.

I suspect it is all an urban legend, and wishful Pubbie thinking.
