OK, I found out the stats. Blue Earth county had 122.79% turnout in 2004.

There was 33,333 (yes, that's the exact number) ballots cast in a county with 57,409 residents.

I also found out through Google that turnout was so high that they had to have new ballots printed during election day.

Why don't they include the same-day registration in the turnout figures?  Doing otherwise makes it look like there was blatant voter fraud that occurred.

Even if they did, that would seriously inflate turnout, since everyone who registers on that day also votes.

Yes, but I'm just saying that, to a casual onlooker, it would seem patently obvious that having over 100% turnout is blatant voter fraud.
