MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — At least 68 people recorded as voting in Shelby County between 1994 and 2004 were dead at the time the ballots were cast, a television station reported.

The investigation by WMC-TV uncovered several names of voters, which according to Shelby County Election Commission records, cast ballots as much as eight and 10 years after federal records show they died.

“I certainly have no idea how any of this could have happened,” commission administrator James Johnson said.

He said he would turn the results of the station’s investigation over to the district attorney for further investigation.

Prosecutors already have asked the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation to assist an investigation into reports by The Commercial Appeal that at least two ballots were cast in a September special election in the name of registered voters who died weeks earlier.

The certified vote count of that election provided a 13-vote victory for Ophelia Ford to replace her brother John Ford in the state Senate. John Ford resigned his seat in May after he was arrested on federal charges of taking a payoff to influence legislation.

The margin has since been cut by several votes, and Republican candidate Terry Roland is challenging the election on grounds of fraud.

Ophelia Ford has already been sworn into office, but it will be up to the Republican-dominated Senate to decide whether to seat her when the Legislature goes into session next month. The Senate also is investigation Roland’s claims.

This fraud was committed by Dims. Correct me if I wrong, but I am pretty sure that kind of voter fraud is not against the law.....

Dollars to donuts these dead people all voted for Dems...

[sandbar]

Considering they did not mention which party they voted for, we can assume they voted Democratic. If they had voted Republican the MSM would have 'theorized' it was ordered direct from Bush or Rove. Even in 1994.

Why don't they ever check your ID when you go to vote?

only 68?

At least 68 people recorded as voting

Only 68?

I liken the number of dead people voting to the number of roaches you see in a kitchen floor. You can be sure that for every cockroach you see, there are at least 100 more hiding.

Do you have a link? I have to send this to a liberal buddy, former Memphis resident.

[mbynack]

There you go again trying to disenfranchise another Democratic voting block.

No doubt! It has been said that they are more demanding at a video rental store than they are at the polls in most states.
