105 percent voter registration? That's nothing.

Some people are shocked, horrified and astounded that Indianapolis might have more registered voters than residents of voting age.

It seems that Indianapolis/Marion County have 105 percent voter registration among people of voting age.

Amateurs.

I've been tracking this in southern West Virginia for years, particularly in Lincoln County.

2004: 106.4 percent voter registration.

2006: 107 percent.

2008 primary: 112.4 percent.

From an editorial on May 6: That sounds like an invitation to vote fraud. But consider this: 13 other West Virginia counties have voter registration rates of 90 percent or more. Those counties are Boone, Logan, Mingo, Wetzel, Jackson, Marion, Tucker, Wyoming, Ohio, Wirt, Hancock, Mason and Calhoun.

I don't know about you, but 90-plus percent voter registration sounds too civic-minded for my taste.
