The Blue States are a lot redder than people may think...and the joke about "How come dead people only vote democrat?" wears a bit thin when these criminals are put in office year after year under these fraudulent means.

Mayor Daley--call yer office.

This should be on going in every state from now until the next national election. Why can't there be a cross match made on every state and county to find the duplicates and dead bodies.

There are at least 4 states that will change from blue to red if Republicans work hard cleaning up the voter fraud crap. If they don't do the work the Dems won't.

Ahhh, Yes...Where Voters are very civil-minded, they're just dying to get to the pollin' places...VOTING, WHERE THE JOKE IS NEW JERSEY.

The Blue States are a lot redder than people may think.

For sure. Otherwise, there wouldn't be any reason to get out the dead vote.

"The Republican Party is infamous for voter suppression tactics, so they occupy the moral low ground on this issue."

No shame.

[highlymotivated]

The dims do that EVERY election. THEY call it opening up the graveyards! Heck, they even have VANS there to take the dead to the polls! HAHA.

[sure_fine]

what is going to be done about it?

[Abathar]

Interesting story, my mother is retired and is heavily involved in the republican Party. She has volunteered to head up what is called the "voter vault" in our county, she is going through all the public records and updating the party rolls and comparing them to the voter records. She and my daughter get together every couple of days and go through the obituaries to cross out people, kind of macobb(?) in a way but they are finding out a lot of things wrong with the system.

The NY Times discovers voter fraud in NJ...this could be hugh! series! (Actually it will be curtains for the Dems if the GOP does the same in every precinct nationwide. But don't count on it.)

[daybreakcoming]

This should not stand for the US. Maybe we just need to start dipping fingers in ink.

[libs_kma]

There's a whole lof of people out there that vote Republican until the day they die. After that..........

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

Did NJ keep their old voting system? Punch cards, etc?

[rhombus]

The 10,000 who died in New Orleans should translate into some hefty reelection votes for the Mayor and the Governor. ;-)

[FreedomPoster]

Hopefully we'll start seeing a lot of this, timed such that it will be obvious to the voters what has been going on, just in time for the 2006 mid-term elections.

[rightwingintelligentsia]

Here in Pittsburgh, a friend of mine volunteered to be a GOP pollwatcher last November. Out of curiosity, a fellow volunteer decided to check the voter rolls to see if her deceased parents were still on them. She discovered that true to form, though they had been Republicans all their lives, they ended up voting Democrat in the last election.

Dead Reckoning?

BTTT

[YaYa123]

I just posted a similiar article from today's 'Star Ledger', but I'm surprised to see The New York Times covering this as well. Even with the NYT's usual spin, New Jersey voter fraud is looking more and more like Louisiana...corrupt to the core.

[AnAmericanMother]

He also said that the party was not accusing voters of committing fraud, suggesting instead that someone else may have exploited their names without their knowledge.

Well . . . I hope that's true at least of the dead people . . .

[SampleMan]

It seems that tying your SSN to your vote would make sense. A computer could easily tell if there were multiple hits on one number, (voting more than once, or coming back from the dead). All votes for that SSN would then be voided and in investigation started. The real person identified and if determined a victim of ID theft allowed to recast their ballot (once).

[jmaroneps37]

This talks to one of the problems they have: The loss of voter fraud will be a huge blow to the ratus Americanus.
