How Do You Explain This?

Irrespective of what the actually voting age population in Wood County was, the only question we need to answer is how many people in Wood County actually voted. And that is an easy question to answer. Just look it up at Google where a colorful map is provided. Click on a state, and then within the state you will find the vote breakdown for each individual county.

Now please correct me if my arithmetic is wrong, but the way I learned to add: 31,596 + 28,997 + 896 equals 61,489. Oh the horror! The fraud! Call the police! Only 57.87% of the 106,258 registered voters in Wood County actually voted! What happened? The one sentence the author of the petition was correct about: It's not humanly possible to get 108% of the vote! Perhaps that's why only 57.87% of the people on the voter rolls actually voted. Or if you want to go with that 98,213 number of citizens of voting age, it's still only 62.61%. It certainly isn't anywhere near 108%. But hey, arithmetic is hard for some people.

not sure how many here think dailykos is a good or a bad site, but they had the math.

Dailykos is not a reputable site. However, they do get it right sometimes, just like WND. Their math may be right in this case. The bad thing about all of these sites is that they intentionally try to mislead you. Back in the 1980s and 1990s, I always thought the republicans were a lot more honest than the dems. It wasn't often that they intentionally tried to mislead you. Nowadays, the two sides are pretty hard to separate. They are both extremely dishonest. You really can't take anything you read at any of these sites at face value. Even the stuff that sounds like it has to be right often turns out to be very misleading and sometimes turns out to be false.
