ST. LOUIS -- The St. Louis Election Board discovered that a woman dead since October cast an absentee ballot in the city presidential primary, an official said.

The case is being turned over today to the Department of Justice, said Scott Leiendecker, the Republican director for the St. Louis Election Board.

Leiendecker said officials at the election board believe that the woman's son cast the ballot by purporting that his mother signed with an "X" and then he signed as a witness. Leiendecker would not divulge the name of the woman or her son.

And this is a suprise to whom?? It is St. Louis.....

[YourAdHere]

I see dead people. And they’re voting for democrats.

[weegee]

Damn computers. They make it too easy to steal an election. < /s >

[weegee]

Not sure here. A Republican raised the issue. Perhaps the son voted in the Democrat primary and his “mother” voted for the RINO.

[The Pack Knight]

Just ask John Ashcroft. He lost to a dead candidate in that state!

[Brilliant]

How did she vote?

[Roccus]

Either way, it damages the already suspect integrety of our electoral system. As for me, I haven’t trusted it since 1960....yet I trudge to the polls every time. (sigh)

[Broker]

Ping .. Headline, Dead voted for ?

[steelyourfaith]

Become a Democrat. Achieve immortality. Vote happily ever after.

[Clintons Are White Trash]

Don’t remind me!! We’ll never live that one down....

[ArrogantBustard]

It's not voter fraud.

Oh, no.

Can't be.

Nevah hoppon, mon!

Nothing to see, here. Move along.

[ArrogantBustard]

Move to Baltimore, City of the Voting Dead.

[VeniVidiVici]

Didn’t St Louis just get done with one Democrat voter fraud case?

[OCC]

And this is a suprise to whom?

Only one dead voter, thats a surprise.

[LottieDah]

“Become a Democrat. Achieve immortality. Vote happily ever after.”

Dracula would have been a Democrat if he were a naturalized citizen.

[susannah59]

I see dead people. And they’re voting for democrats.

It's legal to vote while brain-dead if the rest of you is alive and walking around.

[theDentist]

Will they drop charges because he’s now an “orphan”?

[az_gila]

Only one?

[poindexter]

She's not dead. She's just pining for the fjords!

[Alex Murphy]

You watch - if the vote gets thrown out, someone will cry that they've been defrauded!

[dvan]

This just shows you how important this election is. Even the dead are coming back to vote!

[weegee]

Article says 11 cases are under investigation already.

[weegee]

The Clintons raised taxes on the dead retroactively last time they took office.

[BigEdLB]

"My friends in Missouri. You have always been so supportive. I want you all to remember that Super Tuesday is just around the corner..."

[ripley]

a disgusting shame. young men and women have died while fighting for the right to vote in fair and accurate elections and some punk is falsifying votes. (if it’s a democrat punk, i’ll dislike him 97 percent more.)

[xrmusn]

He lost to a dead candidate in that state

That is right up there with your hand falling asleep while practicing self gratification

[roamer_1]

Hmm. She must be from Chicago.

[Redcloak]

Only one? That's news!

[libs_kma]

"You watch - if the vote gets thrown out, someone will cry that they've been defrauded!"

...or at least disenfranchised.

Theres a whole bunch of room temperature democrats who get disenfranchised every election....and a whole lot more who overcome being dead to cast their votes.

[relee]

LoL!

[TenthAmendmentChampion]

I saw this thread and thought of you!

[Kozak]

We have no right to discriminate against the metabolically challenged.../sarc

[Krankor]

Well, to be fair, being dead is the ultimate in absenteeism.

[RipSawyer]

That is right up there with your hand falling asleep while practicing self gratification

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

And just how did you manage to think of that one?

[AnimalLover]

bttt

[StarCMC]

Exactly my first thought. STL city politics are sooooo dirty.

[StarCMC]

No - that would be Jim Talent, not John Ashcroft.

[xrmusn]

Liberals and clinton related BS bring out the worst in me.

[The Pack Knight]

No, it was Ashcroft. John Ashcroft lost to Mel Carnahan for Senate in 2000, though Carnahan had died two weeks earlier.

The Governor then appointed Carnahan's widow, Jean Carnahan, to serve in her late husband's place until a special election in 2002, where she lost to Jim Talent.

Jim Talent served out the rest of Mel Carnahan's term, until he lost to Claire McCaskill, who was very much alive, in 2006.

St. Louis is dead inner city. I have spent travel time there working at NGA. No surprise here.

[Theodore R.]

There is a joke about a woman from IN who asked before her death to be buried in Chicago so that she could thereafter “at least” still vote.

[Theodore R.]

In 1904, St. Louis was the fourth largest city in the USA — only NYC, Chicago, and Philadelphia were larger — and the site of the World’s Fair held to commemorate Lewis and Clark centennial. Over the years, the city has steadily declined, but there is still the Arch.

[Theodore R.]

McCaskill was on TV this week hailing her neighboring colleague Obama. People in MO often don’t know what they are doing at election time.

[bmwcyle]

I stayed at a hotel near the dead retail mall. It was like walking through a ghost town. I was wishing I had my gun with me.

[ErnBatavia]

I found it interesting that my father (died just before Labor Day) didn't get any mailed voting information. Both parents have been on "permanent absentee" and automatically received mail in ballots and pamphlets.

Mom's arrived this season as usual.

I suppose the county coroner here notifies the registrar.

[JoanVarga]

This thread is a good place for me to fix my dead tagline.

Preview. There. All better.

Carry on.

[StarCMC]

I stand corrected!

[UCANSEE2]

Just ONE dead person?

That must be some kind of a record for St. Louis.
