This is just so classic:
From the thread: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x3029263#3029358
Go to post 7.1 where "Riding this Donkey" sez:
"there were only 1.1M registered voters out of 14 million eligible voters.
That means that 67% of 1.1M voted and that puts the number at approximately 67,000 that voted, if my math is correct.
SO 67,000 OUT OF 14,000,000 ELIGIBLE VOTED!"
WHOPPING SUCCESS HUH?!?!?

Sorta like the guy that bought widgets for $2 and sold them for $6 and is satisfied with his 3 percent profit.

With math skills like that, no wonder they are convinced John Kerry won. Using that guys method, Kerry won by close to 70%.

1. Did ONLY the registered get to vote?
2. If so, then the number would be 670000 votes cast, right?

If it is true 1,100,000 registered and 67% of those voted... that would be... 737,000 people actually cast ballots...

From NAVY TIMES.COM
"Officials said turnout among the 14 million eligible voters appeared higher than the 57 percent that had been predicted, although it was too soon to tell for sure."57% would be close to eight million.

Argue one way this isn't classic colonism?"
What a b@@@hole!
To: BillCompton
There weren't 1.1 million registered voters. That's just the number who had to go and register in person. Most were automatically registered from the Food Card information. It was a huge, crushing turnout yesterday... so get over it...
