Seems it's business as usual. By the way, Pierce County forwarded my husband's and my ballot to our new address. So this is illegal?

FYI: The procedure for clearing deceased persons from the voter rolls is that a person related by blood has to fill out the form. Even a poll judge who knows the family cannot request that the deceased person be removed. I once had a grieving widow in tears at the polling place because she kept seeing his name above hers in the poll book. I offered her the form, we filled it out, and I hope that was the end of her suffering.

Perhaps state law should be amended to allow the coroner/medical examiner or the attending physician at time of death to report the matter to the elections department. Certainly the publication of a death certificate should trigger the removal.

If you agree, make this suggestion to your representatives and senators, or even to your loval ME's office. That ought to stir things up...
