I agree with you 100%. And in Kalifornia too.
Someone with a bigger shovel might work on the cr@p done there.
The 1990 Census says that there are 5462 voting age people. 94.6% of total population is "Native American".
The 2000 Census says that there are 6819 voting age people. 94.2% of total population is "Native American".
That's over 10 years. Democrat registration increased 89% while voting age population increased 24%. The raw numbers are more striking.
(Before you discount census numbers, remember that the 2000 census at least had a huge minority voting effort, emphasizing Federal giveaways and the welfare numbers on reservations generally are staggering.)

Note that the jumps in registration numbers occur during years when Johnson is running for Senate. Hmmm...

By numbers alone, I'd suspect at least 800 illegal votes. Common sense says that a mid-term election for Junior Senator from a county where the returns came in late with over 1150 more votes for the Democrat than usual but the same number for the Republicans more than smells fishy. It needs tartar sauce.
