In assembling a new committee of Mobile County Democrats, the state Democratic party included one person who died last year, his widow and other party members confirmed this morning. Reynolds Smith, Jr., of the Eight Mile community, passed away in November at age 83, according to a Press-Register obituary at the time.

Well, they vote, why can't they also hold office?

Actually, he would probably do a better job in office then a live Democrat.

My dear Mother, a life long demonRAT, died six years ago and yet she voted in the 2004 and 2006 elections.

I went to the County Board of elections twice and complained and finally they removed her from the rolls.

I've checked and she hasn't had a Resurrection.

No doubt the most likeable Demonrat in the state...

When you’re a democrat, death is no obstacle, especially to voting.

Why not? Ted Kennedy was a functionally brain dead legislator.

He died in November at age 83...He said the party received Smith's name from a 2006 list of candidates for the Mobile County committee and then used a voter list to verify him as an active voter.

And he could have voted again THIS November if this hadn't been caught.
