"In a letter sent to City Elections chief Lisa Artison, Walker said that he had "serious questions" about the need for that many ballots [938,000] when the city reported having 382,000 registered voters in September."

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?
I do know that you can register on voting day in Wisconsin, and it also seems reasonably obvious that since you're sending the ballots out to many different precincts, you're going to need to make sure that each has more than enough -- so some overage is surely necessary. It would seem prudent to me to plan for greater, not lesser, turnout this time than in the last two elections.
