The people have won another small but important battle in the fight for election integrity.
The state of Pennsylvania has agreed to purge 21,000 dead voters from their registration rolls before the next general elections. The concession comes as the result of a lawsuit launched by the Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF). The suit alleged Pennsylvania had failed to comply with its own “motor voter” laws that require the state to discard ballots from deceased voters.
It seems unthinkable that it would take a lawsuit for a state to stop accepting votes from dead voters, but here we are.
According to the Daily Signal, the PILF provided the names of the 21,000 dead voters as they demanded the state be held to account for their own voting laws.
The foundation alleged that in an October analysis it found at least 21,000 apparently deceased citizens on the state’s voter rolls, according to the complaint.
“This case is about ensuring that those deceased registrants are not receiving ballots,” said J. Christian Adams, Public Interest Legal Foundation president and general counsel, according to the press release. “This case isn’t complicated. For nearly a year, we’ve been offering specific data on deceased registrants to Pennsylvania officials for proper handling ahead of what was expected to be a tight outcome on Election Day.”
“When you push mail voting, your voter list maintenance mistakes made years ago will come back to haunt in the form of unnecessary recipients and nagging questions about unreturned or outstanding ballots,” he continued.
The lawsuit further alleged that 92% of the apparently deceased individuals identified have been dead since October 2019, according to the press release. More than 200 of the individuals identified voted in 2016 and 2018, after federally listed dates of death, the lawsuit alleged.
The suit was filed in U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania. PILF’s president says the victory marks an important turning point in the fight for election integrity.
“This marks an important victory for the integrity of elections in Pennsylvania,” Public Interest Legal Foundation President J. Christian Adams said. “The commonwealth’s failure to remove deceased registrants created a vast opportunity for voter fraud and abuse. It is important to not have dead voters active on the rolls for five, 10, or even 20 years. This settlement fixes that.”
Over 9,000 of the names provided had been dead for at least five years or more.
The Indianapolis-based legal foundation said that of the 21,000 deceased people still on Pennsylvania’s voter rolls, 9,212 had been dead for at least five years, 1,990 had been deceased for at least 10 years, and 197 had been dead for at least 20 years.
In 2018, the report showed 127 dead people on the voter rolls were recorded as having voted in Pennsylvania. That’s 50 fewer than the 177 dead Pennsylvanians credited with voting in the 2016 election.
Pennsylvania has a number of general elections slated for 2021, including one for the state Supreme Court and several important municipal elections.
Here’s hoping this is the beginning of a trend. Biden is signaling he is ready to start packing the courts. Free and fair elections will be an important part of pushing back the draconian progressive left.
Wait a damn minute! You mean that simply screaming “baseless” is not an actual legal standard in this country??
21,000
Twenty one thousand
One small step...looking forward to the giant leap.
How about the 850000 fake votes now philly ? Huh youse guys ?
What a waste of time this crap is....
You have to have an actual election before you can have election integrity. We don't have either.
So the Public Integrity Legal Foundation determined that 177 “dead” voters voted in 2016 and 127 “dead” voters voted in 2018 in the Pennsylvania elections. The main stream media insists that there is “no evidence” of voter or election fraud.
900,000 more to go.
I mean the Public Interest Legal Foundation.
I have to wonder sometimes if the dead count has anything to do with how to count those “early” voters.
I’d be fine with early voting if they tossed the votes of those who died by REAL Election Day.
And the whole problem is revealed in the word *forced*.
They should be doing as a matter of course.
It should NOT have to be forced to be happening.
And the RNC did nothing about this before the Election.
“And the RNC did nothing about this before the Election.”
Most of them don’t care if they are the majority party. Their only goal is to keep getting reelected, and keep their perks. Which means keep the campaign coffees full. Which menas get on a committee, and get lobysit $$$. Then vote how the lobby wants, not the voters.
It’s all a scam. For probably 70% of them.
Bttt
They didn't attempt a coup. They successfully carried out a coup using a variety of time-tested vote fraud procedures.
“*Prosecution* of illegal voting is what is rare.”
The State of Texas does prosecute voter fraud. Only a portion of the cases are spoken about in the news.
Easy to do as everyone has access to the dead database. Companies use it for validating people. Also there are still 29,000 more absentee votes than there were absentee voters according to the shure system in delaware county. Philly is a lot higher. Let’s purge those Biden votes.
Pennsylvania Ping!
