That’s a hell of a turnout, huh? It defies logic!
Progs shrug it off 119% turnout as "same day registration." LOL. Thanks to your activist judge, there is little to protect voter integrity.

While reading about Madison City Clerk & 119% turnout, don't forget activist judge stopping voter ID http://t.co/EoNK2WH3 #WIrecall

As Dana Loesch points out, Wisconsin progressives are chalking the fuzzy math up to same-day voter registration. But does same-day registration really explain the account for such a high projected turnout? According to Anita MonCrief, same-day registration actually lends itself very well to voter fraud:
Wisconsin is a same day voter registration state and though the media will try to downplay the story, and others like it, fraudulent action by groups like ACORN and Project Vote can directly affect the outcome of an election, which is deemed voter fraud.
“Same-day Voter Registration requires the voter to complete the application and provide “proof of residence” documentation. Ballots for same-day registrants are counted in that election but the actual registration is not verified until AFTER Election Day…
For example, in the 2008 election, 62,000 voters registered on Election Day ALONE in the City of Milwaukee. How many of those registrations were actually legitimate? But all of their votes were counted in the election.”
A few Twitterers decided to draw attention to the ridiculousness by doing a little mockage:

In the past, some people couldn't vote. We're making up for lost votes! #WeAreThe119Percent #wirecall

Iowahawk chimed in:
There's a name for people who register and vote in Wisconsin on the same day. "Chicagoans." #WeAreTheInterstate94Percent

All kidding aside, voter fraud is a major problem. Let’s hope a Scott Walker victory sends a message that conservatives won’t bend to intimidation and cheating. It’s an uphill battle we’re facing, but it’s a battle we’ve got to fight.

Update:
That 119% turnout prediction? Turns out it was based on an extrapolation from 25% made by some doofus today at 11 a.m.
The 119% turnout was based on an early day estimate extrapolated out for the whole day. In other words, it's stupid.

@kesgardner It was some guy thinking he was being clever by extrapolating but actually being an idiot.
— PoliMath (@politicalmath) June 5, 2012
According to PDF from Madison city clerk, showed 25% turnout by 11am. Just plain wonky. #WIrecall

But still 96%! RT @politico: 119 percent voter turnout in Madison? Not exactly, reports @charliepolitico: http://t.co/xRcpj6xV #wirecall

As nice as it’d be to think that 96% of voters are actually participating in an election, it’s unlikely. And Twitter smells something fishy.

Saddam Hussein-level turnout. MT @politico Madison city clerk says the projected turnout is 96%: http://t.co/yhqZSqBW #WIrecall

So at what point do even lunatic leftists acknowledge that 96 % turnout would be evidence of massive voter fraud?

Mosul is Walker country. RT @NathanWurtzel: Barrett doing very well in Tikrit, Wisconsin, on reports of 182% turnout.
