Those Deadly Votes
Local 2 Investigates Dead Voters
Wow…I didn’t realize that we were allowing the deceased to vote post mortem. Makes me wonder what happened to all the cries for voting reform in this country. Very simple concept: if someone becomes deceased, they should not be allowed to vote. This was also a pretty telling quote:
Auditors identified 49,049 registered voters state-wide who may have
been ineligible to vote. Approximately 23,576 may have been deceased
and another 23,114 were possible felons. And they found more than 2,359
duplicate records.
Considering how close elections have become, do we really want to leave something like this to chance?
