A North Carolina man’s obituary asked two things of friends and family: instead of sending flowers for the funeral, give the money to charity. And don’t vote for Hillary Clinton in 2016.

Democracy of the Dead

"Tradition means giving a vote to most obscure of all classes, our ancestors. It is the democracy of the dead. Tradition refuses to submit to the small and arrogant oligarchy of those who merely happen to be walking about. All democrats object to men being disqualified by the accident of birth; tradition objects to their being disqualified by the accident of death. Democracy tells us not to neglect a good man’s opinion, even if he is our groom; tradition asks us not to neglect a good man’s opinion, even if he is our father."- G.K. Chesterton,  Orthodoxy  (1908), Chapter 4, "The Ethics of Elfland."

 
G.K. Chesterton, 29 May 1874 – 14 June 1936

His live friends might agree with him and not vote for her, but all of his dead friends will be voting for her at least a couple of times.

My grandfather voted Republican his whole life and has voted DemocRat ever since.

In Lake County, IN, dead people have been known to vote more than once. A poll worker in Cincinnati bragged after the last election that she voted six times for Obama. The good news is that she’s in jail. The bad news is that Democrats still say it’s okay not to require an ID when voting. I wonder why?
