[AZCENTRAL] Voter turnout during last month's primary races was a little too good in some counties, Arizona elections officials said Friday.
Initial reports from some precincts showed a turnout of anywhere from 200 to 400 percent.
Some precincts in northern Arizona tallied more ballots cast than there are registered voters, the Arizona Capitol Times reported. According to officials, errors made by poll workers and elections officials in Apache and Navajo counties led to the miscalculations. Initial reports from some precincts showed a turnout of anywhere from 200 to 400 percent.
In Apache County, the Puerco West precinct reportedly had 100 votes cast, but only 23 voters are registered there. The voter turnout added up to 434 percent. Similarly, the Fort Defiance precinct cited 1,046 ballots cast though only 357 voters reside there. As a result, turnout was shown to be 293 percent.

Am I the only one to remember that for last presidential elections Rantburg published a link to the official site for the State of Massachustes listing countless districts with turnouts well above 100%? And given all of them with over 90% vote for Obama weighed heavily at atste level.
Sorry, but I can't help but think that these folks might want to rename their precincts.
Unless they're populated by 'heavies' or really in to the celebration of Bacon.

In Spanish puerco means pig. But at least in Spain the animal's real name is cerdo. Puerco can be used for the animal but it puts more emphasis on filthiness and is more often used as an insult as for designating the animal.
Not sure for Mexican Spanish formerly used in Arizona.

Let's imagine: the following. Republicans are head 51 to 49 everywhere except on a 80%-10% dmocratic ditrict with a magical turnout of 200% By itself it will weigh on the outcome as forty Republican districts assumming their turnout is 100% and 80 Republican districs assumming their turnout is 50%.
