The total population in Milwaukee: 596,974 in 2000 and 593,920 in 2004
The total number of people who are of legal voting age in Milwaukee in 2004: 423,811
Total votes cast in 2000 fall election: 245,670
Total votes cast in 2002 fall election: 141,351 (pre-registration of 335,889)
So tell me - with a straight face if you can - why the city would need 514,189 more ballots than there are voting-age citizens?

Interesting.
Also interesting that from the article, it sounds like:
2000 election -- the county printed about 1.3 million ballots for the city.
2004 -- city asks for much less than that -- 938k.
2004 -- County decides to cut that
lower, requested amount by another 300k. Why the fuck would they do that?
Something's going on that these articles aren't telling us.
