According to STATSIndiana, In 2007, Indianapolis/Marion County had an estimated population of 876,804. Of that number 232,607 were below 18 years of age, for a total of 644,197 people in Marion County/Indianapolis 18 or over and thus eligible to vote.
There were 644,197 people estimated eligible in 2007. You have to count all of the people that were less than 18 at the time of the estimation who will be 18 by Nov.4. The article doesn't say how many people that is, but I imagine that it isn't insignificant. You also have to account for this being an estimate. What was the margin of error? It is possible that the estimate was low.

If this is voter fraud, hammer the fraudsters hard. It looks like there may be a perfectly reasonable, innocent explanation for this, though.
