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.

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...
