"Last year, the city had 637,000 registered voters, a figure critics say had to be wrong since according to census figures, Detroit only had 630,000 people 18 or older who were eligible to vote."

Orleans Parish, La. just got 55,000 new Democrat voters.

Will there be a proper Paul-Wellstone-like funeral for all these poor dead people, who no longer will be able to vote?

[skaterboy]

She had to buy the lists?

[lormand]

Oh crap, look out, the DNC will be pissed!

Winfrey was elected in November. She unseated Jackie L. Currie, who had held the post since 1994 and was embroiled in a federal probe of her handling of absentee ballots.

...

And was the previous register a .... (dramatic pause) ... democrat, perhaps?

...

Bookmarked for ref. Good news, finally.

[Brilliant]

And by a remarkable coincidence, all 55,000 are Republicans.

[soccer_maniac]

Dean & the DNC will not be happy

[Ben Mugged]

I wonder how many "dead" voters voted absentee?

[cardinal4]

Already the names of about 33,000 deceased voters have been removed, The Detroit News reported Tuesday

How many of these people voted recently?

[YOUGOTIT]

They cannot do that. The Democrats will lose voters.

[taxcontrol]

I propose that on Jan 1st every year ending in zero, ALL VOTERS be sent a notice that they will be purged and will require re-register to vote. Come Feb 1st, wipe it all out and start over.

I would also like to see voter ID with the registration.

Alternate headline: "RATS Lose 55,000 Votes, Will Steal Them Elsewhere"

[Heartland Mom]

It's about time that this situation has begun to be addressed. With the amount of technology available today, to have our votes diluted down by massive voter fraud is inexcusable.

Clerk Janice Winfrey had better find herself a bodyguard.

Can't be undoin' the corruption in this town, dear lady!

Michigan: absentee ballot campaign questioned in Detroit
AP reports: Allegations of racism, biased judges and improprieties that include dead people on the voter roll have surfaced in the weeks before Tuesday's hotly contested city election.

On the eve of the vote, the focus was on City Clerk Jackie Currie and her "Project Vote" program, which sends ambassadors to help the elderly and disabled fill out absentee ballots.

Last week, a judge ordered state and Wayne County election officials to oversee absentee voting after ruling that Currie has been breaking state law in how she handles absentee ballots and supervises the ambassadors.

In late October, The Detroit News reported that Currie's handling of absentee ballots was questionable. The newspaper found that people cast ballots even though their addresses were abandoned nursing homes or in one case, a vacant lot. -- mlive.com: NewsFlash - Allegations of election fraud, racism surface in days before Detroit election

Clerk Janice Winfrey

She sounds like she's doing a great job.

Winfrey was elected in November.

"Clerk" is an elected position in Detroit?

[Uncledave]

Clerk Janice Winfrey bought lists of deaths from the state and city health department.

She had to *buy* the lists?

[kjo]

Yeah, the MSM was all over this fraud weren't they?

Fact is, it's never fraud when Dems cheat. It's just "good politics".

[BluH2o]

In national elections Detroit is always the last to turn in results in Michigan. Bottom line the 'Rats establish how many votes it will take to put their guy in the winners column and Detroit delivers ... this has been going on for years.

[Uncledave]

Will they match the names and dates of the dead with the voter rolls from 2004?
