I live in Pittsburgh, and in all the elections since 1984, I have NEVER been asked to show ID. NEVER.

Can't we just wait til the votes are counted?
Maybe I'm paranoid, but I find an additional 600,000
newly registered Democrats highly suspicious.
What is the Morning Call? A newspaper?

So the real change was 580,000 edge for Dems in 2004 to 600,000 now?
A marginal change. Not good, but not bad.
PT Barnum was right, I guess, there *is* a sucker born every minute.

Any bets on the Philly turnout this year??
I've got $5 at 108%...

It's not an additional 600,000 dems. It's a 600,000 registered voter edge statewide.

I think ACORN got its start in Pittsburgh and Philly is notorious for shenanigans.

Why do you think they leftest judges are trying to strike down ID voting across the Country?
& They almost succeeded in Ohio. Do you know if they did succeed in GA and AZ?

Last I Heard was that it was down in Ga, but UP in Arizona and Ohio..
Indiana's law seems to be the standard, and we'll get to see just how badly in effects the Democrats in Northern Indiana/Gary...

I allowed my son to monopolize the computer tonight & now I'm too sleepy to enjoy FR.

Franklin & Marshall College's G. Terry Madonna, though, said he is ''suspicious'' of voter registration numbers because he suspects many counties don't remove inactive voters. He pointed to Philadelphia County, which has more than a million registered voters, meaning that more than nine out of 10 people of voting age are registered, based on recent Census estimates.And where 11 out of 10 actually vote.

I guess they are still registering the cemetary citizens.

The media always jumps on these little changes in numbers. It assumes all these folks vote or when they vote do it on a straight party line.

There are a lot of pseudo registered Pubbies in suburban Philly (who registered that way, because that was where the action was as to who was going to get elected, but no longer), who usually vote Dem, and have been registering Dem in large numbers in recent years - very large numbers. One would have to look at the county by county numbers, to see if that is the locus of the current change. The reason Pennsylvania is still only light blue is because the trend has been the opposite in Western Pennsylvania, a generally Dem area, that is also depopulating.

The Dems will win using absentee and multiple
voters at the booth!
Neither of which is seriously questioned by anyone.
Watch how many races the Dems win in Maine by 8, 10 or 12 votes.
Been Happening For YEARS and no one askes any questions.

Well, the article mentions Philly apparently has 90% of eligible voters registered where the usual average is approximately 80%, I think.
And then there is the little matter of this.... leftist activist groups and Rendell's city officials are frantically trying to prevent election monitors from being at the polls. There is a hearing scheduled Friday...
