There could be a completely innocent explanation here. Perhaps Indianapolis was feeling lonely.

Six Alabama counties have more people registered to vote than adults of voting age.

The Birmingham News compared the state’s voter registration numbers with the Census Bureau’s population estimates and found more registered voters than voting-age adults in Conecuh, Greene, Lowndes, Perry, Washington and Wilcox counties…

The News reported that the biggest variations were in Greene and Perry counties.

Greene County had 7,540 people on its voter rolls at the end of September, but the Census Bureau estimates its adult population at 6,834…

Perry County had 8,517 registered voters and a population of 7,635 adults.

Lucy Kynard, chairwoman of the Perry County Board of Registrars, said she wasn’t sure why registration would exceed the Census Bureau’s population estimate. She said the county’s voter rolls are updated regularly to remove voters who have died or moved their registration elsewhere.

Maybe, and I’m just thinking aloud here, there could be voter registration fraud somewhere? Actually, Perry County District Attorney Michael Jackson (yes, really) requested the FBI to look into an usually high voter turnout in the June primaries. The FBI has yet to release results.

Secretary of State Beth Chapman says that her staff are reviewing the rolls due to the possibility of voter fraud. That’d be nice. Maybe she can talk to her counterpart in Ohio.
