The Neighborhood Civic PAC is a medium for like-minded Philadelphia residents to carry out public service initiatives..."it's all about the neighborhoods." The Neighborhood Civic PAC is designed to help jumpstart civic associations in various neighborhoods and resurrect ones that were once mighty and help such associations get acclimated to the political process so that they may utilize this to the advantage of the neighborhood and constituency for which they represent.

Phillly Fraud by the numbers (a logical look at Philadelphia)Myself November 3, 2004 2banana

Pennsylvania Vote:
From CNN: (http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2004/pages/results/states/PA/P/00/index.html)
STATUS CANDIDATE VOTE % EV
Kerry 2,868,674 51% 21
Bush (Incumbent) 2,746,856 49% 0
Badnarik 20,902 0% 0
Peroutka 6,426 0% 0
Cobb 6,192 0% 0
Bush lost Pennsylvania by 121,818 votes
------------------------------------------
Philadelphia Vote:
From CNN (http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2004/pages/results/states/PA/P/00/county.002.html#42101):
Kerry 517,054 80% 97% of precincts reporting
Bush (Incumbent) 124,710 20%
Badnarik 860 0%
Cobb 464 0%
Peroutka 375 0%
Total Philly votes cast: 643,463
So Kerry got 4.14 votes for every 1 Bush vote in Philly (an absolutely astounding number - even heavily democratic Broward Country, Fl only went for Kerry 2:1 and heavily democratic Cook County, IL went for Kerry 2.5:1)
------------------------------------------
Philadelphia Voting Population:
From the US Census Bureau: (http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/42/42101.html): Philadelphia County Pennsylvania
Population, 2003 estimate 1,479,339
Population, percent change, April 1, 2000 to July 1, 2003 -2.5%
Population, 2000 1,517,550
Population, percent change, 1990 to 2000 -4.3%
Persons under 5 years old, percent, 2000 6.5%
Persons under 18 years old, percent, 2000 25.3%
Persons 65 years old and over, percent, 2000 14.1%
Female persons, percent, 2000 53.5%
Total age eligible aged persons in Philly : Overall Philly population (1,479,339) - those under 18 (25.3% of 1,479,339) = 1,105,066*
Does not exclude those not eligible to vote by other factors (immigrants, felons, etc.)
------------------------------------------
Philadelphia Registered Voters:
Total number of people registered to vote in Philly (http://www.seventy.org/stats/regstats.html) 2001 - 1,011,149
Total number of people registered to vote in Philly (http://www.pennlive.com/politics/patriotnews/index.ssf?/base/news/109698120624990.xml) 2004 - 1,035,395
Total number of people registered to vote in Philly (http://www.phillyburbs.com/pb-dyn/news/103-10042004-376969.html) 2004 - 1,035,395
------------------------------------------
Some conclusions:
1. Even as Philadelphia looses population, the number of registered voters continues to increase
2. Nearly every person of voting age is registered to vote (as compared to a national average of 50% by the Census Bureau http://www.census.gov/prod/2002pubs/p20-542.pdf)
3 The total lopsidedness of the vote is an astounding number to believe
4. Either Philadelphia has the most engaged and civic population in the WORLD, or there is massive fraud.
5. The amount of fraud easily exceeds the margin of loss of President Bush. If Bush had won Pennsylvania, it would have been a landslide (no Ohio hand wringing).
