The Republicans may have Diebold for now...

"In most cases, instances of dead voters can be attributed to database mismatches and clerical errors. For instance, the Social Security Administration admits there are people in its master death index who are not dead. "

The title of the article should have been "Living voters mislabeled as dead." I do data entry involving absentee ballot requests, and the proportion of allegedly dead people voting in this article is very close to the proportion of people who have the same name as someone else at the same address. Until I started working on this, I never realized just how many people name their kids after themselves.

Also, many absentee ballots are turned in before the election from people who die after already sending in their ballots. In one of the counties I entered yesterday, there were three confirmed instances of this out of roughly 200 voters.

Considering the frequency of duplicate names in the real world, the article really didn't provide any substantial evidence of dead people voting. Rather it proved that living people were being presumed dead by the voting registration rolls incorrectly, and then came up with a deceptive title for the sake of sensationalism.

Exactly. I debunked the entire basis for the thread (using evidence from the OP no less) and everyone just keeps going on as if it's legit....
Thanks for reading!

The dead, being closer to God, realize that Bush is Satan. OF COURSE they are going to vote Democrat!

There was nothing to debunk. You missed the joke too. Humor is wasted in this forum.


OrganizedChaos got it.

Miami has it happening alot. And there, the Dems needs every vote to keep the state.

How many dead votes were in play in the 2000 election? The media counted the votes; not the voters.

One way to solve the Miami problem is to have the polling station only use English....

Of course!!! The dead of Miami's unintelligible grunts will certainly mark them from the other dessicated, walking corpses in Florida.

Is this what you're reduced to?

What you bolded: - Democrats who cast votes after they died outnumbered Republicans by more than 4 to 1.

The next sentence: - Democrats who cast votes after they died outnumbered Republicans by more than 4 to 1. The reason: Most of them came from Democrat-dominated New York City, where the higher population produced more matches.

Your other tidbit: as many as 2,600 of them [votes] have cast votes from the grave

later in the articleIn most cases, instances of dead voters can be attributed to database mismatches and clerical errors. For instance, the Social Security Administration admits there are people in its master death index who are not dead.


In other words, this could not be a bigger non-issue nor could it be less connected to the Democrats. Lousy effort.

I think you've misplaced your sense of humor. Here, I'll help you find it. It has to be around here somewhere...

Lol, after posting on this forum for a while I can no longer tell the serious posts from the satirical ones. Nice job. I have some egg to clean off my face.

You know, now that we have machines voting Republican and dead people voting Democrat, I see the field totally opening up for all sorts of new kinds of voting. The Republicans have been convinced for years that rocks, trees and dirt count when it comes to voting...why not make that a reality? And Democrats would certainly like it if ALL their supporters were allowed access to the ballot box, perhaps we need to start setting up voting stations in Europe and allowing the French to vote.

But why just restrict it to just voting for who holds office? With machines and dead people voting, clearly they some some perspectives that the rest of us lack that would be vital to the election process. Just imagine 2004 if instead of just voting for President, the machines and the dead folks had been allowed to vote on things that were of interest to THEM. The dead people could have voted for who looked the most like some sort of zombie (Kerry), while the machines might have been interested in voting for the candidate least likely to be able to operate any piece of electronics more complex than an Etch-A-Sketch (Bush). And why not let the REGULAR people get in on the fun too? I imagine the Republicans would appreciate finally getting some support from San Francisco, even if the vote was who was most likely to be in the closet. And Dems could finally paint Texas "blue" on the issue of who the Texans will NOT talk to about football (the Dems should be proud, this is a very limited group).

So...

How many absentee ballots come from adult foster care facilities and the like? I see an opportunity to 'vote' for these people that reside in these communities. Dead people can be discounted, but who's gonna look up all the paraplegics, double-digit IQers and droolers who still breathe? I know I could probably bribe a nurse or 2 at the local death home to give me some names and SS#s.

I'm sure one of the parties has figured this easy one out.
