[LurkerNoMore!]

Actually, it is "oh, MANNnnnn!"

[Post Toasties]

Yeah. Don't they have any kids?

[MissAmericanPie]

Thanks for the phone number. I will give them a call.

[TheLion]

On a search I got census figures for SD (2001): Total 756600. There sure are a lot of registered voters. Someone should definitely look deeper here! Think I will try to find # of children etc.

[PLMerite]

Damn, those are percentages that would make the Soviets proud.

[Eva]

An editorial on Opionion Journal, tonight, mentioned that Johnson was behind until an extra 500 votes were found from an Indian reservation, which gave him a small edge.

I don't know the the writer was speaking figuratively or not, because that is how Tiny Tom won his first election to congress.

It's not very pretty, but it should be easy to cut and paste straight into an excel spreadsheet if you want to look at the data yourself...

[TheLion]

Census data show SD under age 18 at 26.8% in 2000. National average is 25% under age 18. Population age 65 and over was 14.3% in 2000: National Average for over 65 is 12.4%. Have to go back now and check table on this thread.

[evolved_rage]

Doh! Never cut, paste and sort after a couple of beers.Sorry!

[unspun]

I'm kind of impatient with this thread. Does anyone have a thesis? Anyone care to give us a summation?

If so, here are the ways to FREEPING:

If you want to clearly STATE THE CASE, I'll provide more definitive information about who to contact....

Based on the numbers posted by nothingnew at #29, the census #'s really indicate some sort of problem, particularly in the following counties.

Data has obviously changed somewhat since 2000, but how significantly? Notice the difference between state-wide population figures for 2000 and 2001:

2000: 754,844 per your posts at #14 & #17
2001: 756,600 per Robert_Paulson2 at #15

The state-wide population increase between 2000 and 2001 was 1,756. What sort of change took place during 2002? Regardless, I don't see how it could explain away the numbers in these counties, even if registration was manditory.

[Stultis]

98% in Shanon went to Johnson?

AND Shannon had the lowest percentage of registered voters turning out, the only county in the state in the 40's, against a state average of over 70 percent turn out.

Smells like a (Thune) ballot bonfire to me. Would this have been doable for the 'Rats? Can we please impound the voter rolls there?

[woofer]

McPherson County 2,904 6 6 3,010 3,972 75.8 137%

Oops. McPherson County 37% more registered voters than population...tsk, tsk.

100 more voters than population. Should be the first batch anybody looks at.

[Jim Noble]

>>Saddam got 100% a few weeks ago<<

AND his % was so high because all the Iraqis are getting farm aid...

Viewed in this light, SD results make perfect sense.

[xsmommy]

ping for your interest.

[hobbes1]

My interest ?...LOL.

THis is a repeat of my post at 3 pm yesterday, on the Thune thread.

[ForGod'sSake]

Ping for followup.

[Robert_Paulson2]

while I realize SOME folks who were seventeen turned eighteen, I suspect SOME folks died TOO, during that period. I wonder if they were deleted off the registration rolls or if they too were resurrected to "get out the vote"?

Something awry here. WHO is working on this? Thune's crew? Ashcroft? Bush's team? or just Freepers?

Thune may have lost fair and square. I doubt it. Is this the state where the Indian lady was paid by dems to "get out the dead" and was forging signatures on ballot applications?

Seems MORE than a recount is in order.
