A newspaper's review of ballots cast in the November election shows many were cast under the names of people who have died, were serving time in prison or did not live in the city.LMAO, don't expect to see any other Democrat city newspapers doing similar "reviews".
Can you imagine what, say, the Philadelphia Inquirer would uncover? But, of course, that paper won't be doing any "reviews" anytime soon, that's for sure, and they would only spin, apologize for, "explain", and ultimately lie about the results even if they did. (No doubt they find a way to proclaim, "See? Both parties do it!".) Papers like the Philadelphia Inquirer will never do anything to hurt their party.

Hello,
Exactly, this is not news. I live in St. Louis, MO. This is news if you consider the following to be news: "The new automobile is putting buggy factories out of business". Here, in 2000, the man who successfully sued to keep the polls open past the mandated time was later identified as a dead guy. I am not kidding. ON top of that, MO actually voted in a dead guy. Not kidding again. We like our dead, and give them all the rights of the living.
Glad to be here, MOgirl

In Georgia, the demonRats are fighting voter ID. They say it intimidates blacks. I say they are lying and what they really mean is it make vote fraud harder.

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.
When was the last time you picked a dirty penny up off the ground? In Michigan, returnable cans are 10 cents apiece. Would you stop your car on the road if you saw a returnable can lying on the shoulder?
Why would you bother voting 132 dead people? You wouldn't, unless the 132 was part of a larger number of phony votes. Like, a fifty dollar bill lying on the ground, or 5 or 6 plastic garbage bags filled with returnable empties lying on the shoulder.
The person who voted for him must have been someone who knew he was dead, or at least, someone who knew he would not vote.
Again, who would give a crap about the dead guy's missing vote? This example, especially, is a dog that's not barking.
Who is sitting around with a clipboard, checking the obits? Why waste the time, unless it's NOT a waste of time?

Detroit's newly elected clerk, Janice Winfrey, said she has ordered her staff to purge at least 50,000 names from the voter rolls by March.
Theres only concern when democraps run against democraps. Where was the concern back in '04 and '00?

Detroit's voter rolls include as many as 20,000 dead people and roughly 100,000 wrong addresses,
Still doesn't quite do it but factor in Flint and Benton Harbor and who knows.

Keeping names of the deceased and nonresidents on the rolls allows votes to accidentally be marked in those names, Grebner said. It also lets them DELIBERATELY vote in the name of dead people, fake people, and people who just don't vote themselves.

I don't know where you're from. You may not be aware that Detroit voters threw out the incumbent city clerk last November because of her shenanigans with voting irregularities. Baxter is working for the new city clerk. I'm a big fan of slamming the people who run Detroit, but there is no evidence to blame the new clerk and her administration for these problems. I hope they do clean these things up. It might cost our clueless governor a few votes this November, but she'll probably still win anyway. When I read the article this morning, I noted that it cited 132 instances of problems, not all of them in Detroit.

"If you remove about 5% in dem voter fraud, add a better candidate this time, we've got a new guv here."Don't hold your breath until November. The kool aid drinkers are still blaming Engler for all the state's problems. Clueless said she could do a better job and the UAW and their limp wrist allies in the more "enlightened" communities believe her. Clueless blamed Bush in her state of the state a few weeks back. She's just innocently standing there trying to look attractive and the wascally wepubwicans are picking on her.

It's like stopping your car to get a returnable can (10c MI) from the side of the road. Unless the "poll workers" are actually voting from a clipboard...

Holland City Clerk Jennifer French said she had no idea there was such a problem. I have to wonder what planet she's been living on!

Unless there's more to this iceberg than meets the eye...

Actually, the question should be: why bother voting "a handful" of dead people? Either you're right and there's more, or the person who did it was hoping it'd be so close five would help (each vote counts you know!) or that more people would be doing the same thing.

I've always maintained that the proof of massive Michigan vote fraud lies in the numbers for the MI Supreme Court candidates.
We "vote" for Donks for the major Federal offices overwhelmingly, BUT Republican candidates for the MI Supreme Court breeze in. Why? Because the voter has to manually select the "non-partisan" judiciary slots on the ballots. A stroke of genius on the part of the MI lawmakers who wrote that one into law, and an unexamined clue as to what really goes on at the ballot box in SE Michigan.
I believe that time constraints prevent the Donk "poll workers" from voting that part of the ticket for their "votees".

why would you bother voting 132 dead people?Yes indeed, just like the dead on the Titanic. It's indicative of the tip of the iceberg.
