 KYW 1060 reports too many people have registered to vote, and so there will be a ridiculously long line at your polling place if you’re a college kid or something:
The Committee of 70 says 16 divisions in the city are way beyond the state limit for number of registered voters.
The group’s policy director, Sarah Stevenson, says those divisions are in center city, near Penn and Drexel in West Philly, and in the northeast: “The threshold in the state election code is 1200 voters per division. Some divisions here are just over 1,200, but some have three times as many voters.
The city says it can’t split the divisions this late in the game, so for some reason people in the Northeast will not be able to vote for ol’ McCain only if they stand in line for six hours. Ha ha, since when do Republicans have to wait in line to vote?
