Kerry and Company (Bon Jovi et al.) Pack U.S. Cellular Center in Cedar Rapids on Oct. 27th

When Tom Harkin spoke to the assembled crowd of close to 8,000 cheering Democrats at the U.S. Cellular Center in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, on Wednesday, October 27th, he came with some “good news.”

Harkin noted that 50,000 new Democratic registrations have been processed in Iowa. 20,000 new independent voters have registered in Iowa for the 2004 election. And new registered Republicans? Why, only 9,400 of them.

These statistics add to the news (reported in Tuesday’s Quad City Times) that a record 2.1 million Iowans were registered to vote by Saturday’s registration deadline. That is 6% more than the number registered in the 2000 election. 95% of eligible Iowans are registered to vote and the total number, for 2004, is 2,106,658, compared to 1,969,199 Iowans registered to vote in the 2000 general election.
