(Analyst notes: One might assert, as Missouri politicians do, that this is a result of the process used to manage voter lists. Yes, that is just exactly the case we would make... that the process is poor, biased and apt to foster vote fraud. Given the activity of SEIU and ACORN in the state (and recent beatdowns of innocent opponents there), it is not surprising that processes are in place that are so ugly and wrong. Get real, there is no justification for this.)
Missouri, according to a comparison of its Secretary of State voter statistics with its US Census statistics, shows fifteen counties with more than 100 percent voter registration:
Missouri has about 90.3 percent of its census voting-age population registered to vote, but 15 counties show more registered voters than people 18 and older.
Missouri counties with more than 100 percent voter registration (in red)
* Reynolds County, 125.8 percent
* Putnam County, 109.9 percent
* Butler County, 104.3 percent
* Gentry County, 103.9 percent
* Mercer County, 103.6 percent
* Shelby County, 103.2 percent
* Schuyler County, 101.6 percent
* Carter County, 101.5 percent
* Worth County, 101.4 percent
* Ozark County, 100.8 percent
* Dade County, 100.7 percent
* Holt County, 100.6 percent
* Pemiscot County, 100.6 percent
* Howard County, 100.4 percent
* Ralls County, 100.1 percent
These results use the latest data from the U.S. Census Bureau and the Missouri Secretary of State, but 12 of these counties also had more than 100 percent registration in 2008.
