This is my own position, and if it is in the wrong venue, just change it, but I really dont need to be bitch-slapped by the self-annointed keepers of Freeper Purity! (And you guys know who you are!)
Okay, my Mom passed away about three years ago. My sister, who was living with her, is getting ready to retire and move away. I suggested to her that she make sure that Moms name has been removed from the voter registration rolls.
I believe that it is incumbent on all of us who have lost beloved family members, to insure that their names have been removed from the voter registration rolls. Those are a major segment of the DemocRAT constituency.
Personnally, I hate to think that after a lifetime of voting faithfully for the Republican Party, my Mom might now be voting Democrat!
A sibling who lived in the same SW state as my parents, did what you suggested when our parents died.
Our Mother died in a different city/county a decade later than our Dad.
Our sibling had to hand out copies of our Mother’s Death Certificate to get our Mother’s name removed from the voting lists.
The sibling said there was some real hostility at the retirement home our Mother had lived at. When, they were approached to ensure that our Mother was not voting while dead. They rounded up the residents and drove them in a bus to vote. We wondered how many ghosts rode that bus to vote.
Ah, the Freeper Purity Patrol strikes!
Thank you for proving my point!
For your information, Mom lived in Las Cruces, NM, where my sister lives. I am in New Hampshire. Think about it!
Is your other handle, “Humble Gunner”?
Good reminder.
Shortly after my father’s death, I told my mother to do just that. The thought of him voting for Hillary (this was in the summer of 2012) was just too much to bear. The funny thing was that the county election official was very sympathetic to the reason why my mother was calling. She said that they try to do this on their own, but help from honest family was both needed and appreciated.
Don’t even have any second thoughts.
Thanks for bringing this up. My dad died 3 months ago unexpectedly. He was a big Trump supporter and a wonderful dad. Im calling today to make sure they know.
A bit late isn’t it? I already received my mail-in ballot.
Do the same for people who move out of state. Maryland does not remove names of people who cancel their driver license when they move. Shameful.
After both our mother’s passing a several years back, the wife and I mailed in letters/death certificates to the local voting bureau JUST to make our mothers never voted again.
I still check our city’s online voter results to this day.
Smart move on your part...no bitch-slapping deserved or warranted.
Yeah, well that is just my criminal incompetence. Report me to Humble Gunner and the rest of the Purity Patrol.
So you’re on your 2nd or 3rd bottle of Jack Daniels now?
With skin that thin you better watch it or your muscles will get sunburned beneath your paper thin skin. Cooked meat.
I gave up drinking 8 1/2 years ago, Junior.
But, go ahead and keep on blaming alcohol for anyone who disagrees with you. You are only fooling yourself.
That’s interesting, we moved to a different county in Missouri, and when our tax statement came back to them with a forwarding address, we were sent a notification we were being removed from the voting roster and if it was not correct to notify them. It made me very happy. You should always be instantly removed when it is known you have moved or died.
Awww... you’re so cute when you’re soooo wrong. Junior.
Great!
