The Virginia State Board of Elections provides an example of how states should be conducting election administration. While many U.S. counties have over 100 percent of living adults registered to vote, Virginia has none. Even better, Virginia has purchased the Social Security Death Index database so state election officials can run computerized matches against Virginia voter rolls.
The new policy of the Virginia State Board has paid off.
Virginia’s initial sweep has yielded 10,000 dead voters who were never before removed from the rolls. These zombies won’t be able to vote, through a criminal impersonator of course, in the 2012 presidential election. Elected and appointed officials in Virgina deserve the praise of Virginia voters who don’t want their vote diluted in November. True the Vote, the nation’s leading election integrity watchdog, has issued this statement:
“This will go a long way to improve faith in our voting system and set a good example for others to follow,” True The Vote President Catherine Engelbrecht said. “The Commonwealth of Virginia’s recent decision to purchase the Social Security Administration’s Death Master File is the optimal tool necessary to affirm that the deceased will not have ballots waiting for them on November 6th. Every legal action that state and local authorities can take to improve our election system builds confidence in the process – voter list maintenance is the keystone to election integrity.”
The troubling part is that Virginia is one of the few states that have taken this step. In many jurisdictions, election officials still scan obituaries for indications that someone has died.
Huh? Why should Virginia have to pay for that?
eric holder will be filing court papers next week to stop the removal
“These zombies won’t be able to vote, through a criminal impersonator of course, in the 2012 presidential election.”
How about finding out how many of them voted after they were dead, last time around?
Didn’t someone post a story last month that 3,000,000 dead people were registered to vote.
The illegal alien vote is bigger than that. Have they done anything to reduce the illegal alien vote?
Better they should wait till the election and seize the ones that vote under those names..
But must be republicans are AFRAID to get into democrats faces..
Cause you KNOW it would be ALL democrats voting that way..
The question just how many republicans are COWARDS..?
They may have. Was it a story about Cook County?
Does anyone keep a VA Ping list?
I’m moving to VA in a few weeks and would like to be the VA Ping list - or if there isn’t a list yet, I would like to start and maintain one.
those will all vote absentee. You will never see them.
Any notary will be arrested and sacrificed as an “isolated case”
Why should Virginia have to pay for that?”
No state agency should have to pay for use of this file. Would be interesting to see how many dead people filed state tax returns this year and received a refund.
SSA should have a master file which lists information on anyone who had ever applied for a SS# which would be updated to reflect those that were deceased. Anyone with a need to know and who is dealing with payroll, any type of state or federal benefit payments or tax returns should be able to access the information. If you need information on a certain ss# it should spit out a listing of everyone who has that number, their name(s), address(es) and date(s) of birth.
But then we are dealing with a government agency so I’m sure it will never happen.
They may have. Was it a story about Cook County?
Nation wide I think.
I’m surprised Holder hasn’t sued to have this stopped.
"DOUBLE DANG!"
"DOUBLE DOG DANG!"
I’d love to see video of faces at the polling locations, and then allow computers to cross reference those voting with the faces at other voting locations in the region.
They can certainly have video of my mug for this purpose.
I agree, and it’s not even Connecticut.
Last I heard it was Corin Stormhands. Corin, are you still on board for Virginia pings?
Randita, are you abandoning the Pennsylvania ping list, or just Pennsylvania (like I did)?
Ping!
