“’E’s not dead yet”
Is it possible to contact your local elections board and inquire as to weather a deceased loved one/relative has voted in recent elections?
Good reminder, Duke.
Shes voting absentee you hater!
When my mom died just before the 2010 mid-terms, I took her voter registration card, drivers license, and death certificate to the county election clerk and asked her to remove my mom’s name from the list of eligible voters. When she asked why I was doing this I said I wanted to make sure she didn’t vote democrat in the next election. Someone standing behind her in the office actually spit out their coffee laughing.
I live in a small city, where the majority of voters are registered Democrats. My polling place has about 800 people on their roster. My dad died 10 years ago. I noticed for several elections after that, that his name was still on the list of eligible voters. I pointed it out to the poll workers each time. They told me that they only “purge their files once every 2 years.” WTH?
Just pack up dear old mom and dad’s corpses and go to your nearest voter registration.
If you need to register just go around the stack of bodies.
Great advice, but why would any Freeper want to “bitch-slap” you? Am I missing some humor here?
Good call. After the Missus passed, the very next election included a check to be sure her name had been removed from the rolls.
If her name had been used to vote dem, there’d be some real he11 to pay (redhead!).
Good reminder.

Unless someone has been committing Social Security fraud, the local registrar of voters should have picked this up from the Social Security Death Index.
No bitch slap for you, but why is this your sister’s job, even if she is local and you are not? Simply write a letter to the local registrar, explain the facts, request confirmation that your mother’s name has been removed, and attach a copy of the death certificate.
First, sorry your mom is gone. Second, you have the right idea. Some states are actually fighting the fed rules that say they have to clean up their voter rolls. Last, doncha hate it when you die and someone steals your identity and does nothing with it except vote Demoncrat???!!!
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.
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. I’m 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.
