Grave Matter: Detroit Paper Says Dead People Voted in Election

Editor & Publisher ^ | 2/26/06

Wouldn't you know it--the Republicans are still trying to make voting more difficult. Now they are trying to deny the vote to non-respiratory Americans.

[kjo]

Republicans should care alot. Much of outstate Michigan is Republican, if the Dems can cheat enough in Detroit guess where the electoral votes go?

[kjo]

You make me spill my pop. LOL.

Across Michigan, 132 people were listed as having voted in November's local elections although they had recently died, said Mark Grebner, whose company, Practical Political Consulting in East Lansing, analyzes voter rolls. About 26 of those were in Detroit, Grebner said. >>

132 out of 10 million? That actually ain't too bad.

[hosepipe]

Massive national democrat voter fraud and republican hierarchy could care less...

DuuuuH.. We need a NEW hierarchy..

[Robert A Cook PE]

But Detroit isn't the only city with problems. Holland, population 30,000, recorded 11 votes cast in the names of deceased people in November's local election, Grebner said.

Holland City Clerk Jennifer French said she had no idea there was such a problem.

...

Let me guess: Holland is a liberal.

(Bookmarked: fraud, 2006, MI.)

COUNTY	BY	Posthumus	Granholm
CODE/NAME	COUNTY	REP	DEM
===============	==============	==============	==============
Totals	3,177,565	1,506,104	1,633,796

If you remove about 5% in dem voter fraud, add a better candidate this time, we've got a new guv here.

[Verginius Rufus]

This is strange. I'd have thought that all the posthumous voters would have naturally voted for Posthumus.

[quantim]

Well, with Granholm, the socialist immigrant from Canada, we are better off dead.

[zeeba neighba]

And eternally.

lol, make that

Vote early and off'em

[Verginius Rufus]

Actually, someone else coined that expression, probably Mark Steyn.

[redpoll]

Voter fraud in a city run by Democrats? Say it ain't so!

Some elections have been won by only a couple of votes.

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

Posthumus, REP

Sure sounds like a DEM. The Democratic Party has always been a strong supporter of the Civil Rights of necro-Americans.

When I go to the " Bodyworlds " exhibit in Philadelphia this Spring , I'm going to try to put an "I voted for Rendell" paper in one of the cadaver's hands .

"Gov. Jen" is another of those "Catholic" Democrats who "is personally opposed to abortion," but will fight to the death to retain it (unless money from Emily's List dries up.

[bdfromlv]

not if he voted late in the day just before the polls closed. probably very few poll watchers under the age of 80.

[GOPJ]

OMG, what's next? Will they tell us the sun comes up in the east?
