PITTSBURGH -- Target 11 compared names from Allegheny County voter rolls to names on the Social Security master death index and found some surprises.
Target 11 investigators found more than 9,000 dead people still registered to vote.
Several of those listed as deceased showed up as having cast ballots in recent elections.
Mark Wolosik, head of the Allegheny County board of elections, said the problem is a concern but, I think the thing to keep in mind is when you look at it percentage-wise, it's not a very big number.

I’ll start the poll. Who says the ‘Ghost voters’ were Democrats? I do.
Well, how many illegals have voted? Combine the old-fashioned voter fraud with the new nonsense and we have a big problem nationwide.
Unliving Americans aren’t permitted to vote???
I see dead people. Voting Democrat.
Is this Murtha’s district?
No, it’s just north/west of Murtha’s district. But it’s full of ‘Rats.
Of course they're Democrats. There are only a couple dozen registered Republicans in Allegheny county.
Hmmmmm.....the Biological Challenged have the right to vote??
meeeeee
I’ll have to send this to Jeff’s mil. She lives in Pittsburgh.
Did I tell you I’m an honorary member of the Steeler Nation?
for Valerie’s sake.

Uh huh. If it were Republicans, 9,000 would be a HUGE number. We would hear how a mere 537 votes and a Supreme Court decision changed the election in 2000.
That was the only sentence I needed to see before I knew it was dead voting Democrats.
It doesn't matter how big the number is. (these are only the ones we know about. the number could get bigger) I think the thing to keep in mind is....It should not be happening at all.
Pittsburgh Ping?
I would like to see how many voted. Having 9000 dead people registered is not a huge surprise if you have an incompetent scrubbing voter roles.
Were they removed from the list?
Ok, let's look at it percentage-wise then...
According to: http://www.alleghenycounty.us/elect/200611gen/el45.htm
9000 votes represents about 2% (1 out of 52) of all votes cast in Allegheny county in the 2006 election.
It was :
This next vote...I’m going to write my number down and then request a copy of my ballot. I will then call and ask for documentation, showing where my vote went.
They have a rule you need to show up to be declared dead for election purposes and you can send someone to vote for you if they are a member of the same union if you cant show up.
The Dem machine gave us Pelosi folks.
