More than 100% of the registered voters voted in WY?

Same day registration maybe?

Blue Earth county had 122.8% turnout. I think we had the highest in the nation.

Which makes areas with same day voting have these so called "turnout" stats useless. 

Not really ... it's meaning is just a different one than implied.

Which of course is actually a consequence of non-compulsory registration, not of same day voting.

Turnout in Loving was way down on 2000 - they attempted to clean the voter rolls - but it was still higher than the population.
Of course the extra votes are from people with ties to the region, mostly Loving natives, now living elsewhere. It's got some vicious local politics apparently (and amazingly) so people take care their relatives stay registered there to vote for them. Of course there's no way of proving these people voted elsewhere as well - some might have, some might not.

Just looked over census 2000 results for the county - the median age is 45. Though 13 residents are under 18, only 3 are 18-34 (there are no women aged 21-34), and one of them's a Mexican. (Of the county's 7 Hispanics, 5 live in a 5 person family household, one, a 61 or 62 year old male, lives alone - he's easy to identify because he's the county's only resident to claim two or more races - , and one apparently lives in a household with an Anglo householder.)
