    Philadelphia Ward Turnout: 2004 vs. 2000

    Philadelphia Produces Record Turnout

    Can Philadelphia increase our election turnout by 10% over 2000?

       That was the challenge we posed to Philadelphia for Election Day.

                 The answer on November 2nd was a resounding, "yes."

    Our aim was to raise turnout from 555,000 in 2000 to 605,000 this  year.

           Whatever we feel about the election itself, we've made one point:

                             Philadelphia votes when it matters.

        The challenge now is to continue to vote in the future.
