First thing I took issue with was the above. As the link I provided pointed out, he didn't--in fact--receive 108% of the vote. Honestly, of all the registered voters, he didn't even get 50%. He only got 50% of the county because only about 62,000 voted. Still, this wasn't good enough for you.
No one said he got 108% of the vote. The suspicion is that an extra 8% or more of non-eligible voters put him over the top.

Further, many 17 years olds can now pre-register throughout the nation. The fact that number of registered voters went up is of no big fucking surprise. As the Kos piece I pointed out to you points out, it is hard to verify the 98k number without knowing the metric used by the guy that assumed the number. The guy is just modeling based off of census results.
That's true of every election, but counties don't necessarily see trends of over 100% voting, or increased voter turnout in general, because of it.

If you look at the actual number of votes counted, turnout was actually lower this year than in '04 or '08.
That just makes things even more suspect since Obama's voter based shrunk by almost ten million votes this time around.
Until there's an inspection of accountability, I will continue to remain suspicious. The dead always vote democrat after all.
