Officials: Man Dead For 20 Years Registers To Vote

More Than 800 Voter Registration Cards Being Investigated

AKRON, Ohio -- The state of Ohio is stepping in to investigate possible voter fraud in Summit County. And the Lake County prosecutor is also looking into fraud there.

More than 800 voter registration cards in Summit County are under investigation, NewsChannel5 reported.

The Board of Elections said the voter registration cards in question are for addresses that don't exist, spelling mistakes or have similar handwriting.

Fifty of those questionable cards apparently came from the AFL-CIO central office in Cleveland, WEWS reported.

The AFL-CIO said it's registering thousands of union members this year, and had no knowledge of the faulty cards, which are filled out by volunteers.

AFL-CIO Executive Secretary John Ryan told NewsChannel5’s partner The Akron Beacon Journal that "it's not only a felony, but it's playing with democracy in a dangerous, horrible way."

Elections officials said the bogus cards were kicked out by the computer and forwarded to state investigators.

In the meantime in Lake County, elections officials said some voter advocacy groups are forging registration cards.

In one example, a man who's been dead for 20 years is apparently a new registered voter.

And in another case, it looks as if an entire neighborhood will be out of town on Election Day. Everyone there applied for absentee ballots.

This fraud comes on the heels of a report NewsChannel5 did just Wednesday on identity theft and voter registration. (Read Report)

Never give out your full social security number if asked. Elections officials only require the last four digits for verification.

This is the perfect vote for Kerry, the first reason is Vietnam was still fairly fresh on our minds and secondly the dead guy likely looks like Kerry.

Lock them up for terrorism via voter fraud. Find them guilty and send them to Haiti, Gitmo is too good for them.

But the labor unions became so strong that they ran all of the tire manufacturers out of Ohio.

I have relatives near an old A&P food plant that went out of business due to the unions demanding too much. Now, the union members have no job at all.
From what I understand, Corning Inc. told the AFL-CIO union to back off or they were pulling out. The Glass works won. The unions wages were cut in half. I heard they were getting $13 per hour for just sweeping floors. Anything higher than that got twice as much.

I know two people here in California that went to JAIL for for adding names to a petition for a conservative cause. They got sloppy and dishonest with their task. Fellow conservatives did not come to their rescue, they plead (I hate that the dictionary says pleaded is the first use past tense of plead) guilty and paid the price.

When will liberals own up to their mistakes?

But, that, under Ohio law is perfectly all right.

If we want to change it, and rule someone ineligible to vote, I think you are opening up a Pandora's box. They could have done the same thing with an absentee ballot.

We might not like it, but it is the law.

I think the DemoncRATS know ALL of the ways to cheat, and probably use them all.

And down here in NC I need some male person to be able to go and vote in my deceased husband's place. I tried to tell them he had passed away and even had a copy of the death certificate but they couldn't be bothered to make even a slight notation or write it on a card to stick into the book. It will be another vote for Bush if I can get someone to do it. LOL!!!

This would be very easy to do as they never check IDs. That is another of my frustrations with the Board of Elections here.

You just know that if the story fails to report the political party, 9 times out of 10 it's a Democrat.

With CBS willing to stake their credibility on forged documents I would expect this to be a banner year for election fraud. Stories like this are going to be a daily event right through the election. The dead will vote in record numbers this year and they don't show up in the polls.
