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.

Voter fraud is serious business. What are Americans going to do about it?
I still contend that Bush won Pennsylvania in '04.
These elections officials are corrupt, not incompetent. Unless you count the fact that they allowed themselves to be caught allowing dead people to vote.
Despite letter and phone call, at least one deceased Dem was still on the voting rolls for the 2006 election in Maryland. I wonder how many such persons had someone vote for them?
I don't think that the "but it's a small percentage" should fly....and probably wouldn't if they were Republicans.
In machine cities...make fun of it till the people decide to stop it locally.
It isn’t necessary to have the dead (or illegals, or convicts, or institutionalized Alheimer’s patients) vote anymore.
They just reprogram the electronic voting machines to register votes for the Democrat candidates, regardless of what buttons are pushed.
Last year, in some precincts, if you voted straight “R”, a vote was cast for Casey for Senate. Saw it with my own eyes. Didn’t work on all of the machines though - some of them it just upset the software date stamp and the machines wouldn’t open on election day. The software said, in effect, “You held this election already.”
Labor-saving technology to relpace all that tedious grave-digging and short bus-driving. Marvelous.
Dead or alive, most Pittsburgh voters are Dims. A republican hasn’t been mayor since the 1920’s.
It is looking likely that a Republican could win this time, but it will be close so those 9,000 votes could be the difference.
A republican victory would send a shockwave through the country bigger than Jindel’s win in Lousiana.
It's a 'Burgh

I realize that since I was born and raised there as well as still having brothers and sisters living there.
This is why the Dems are against showing an ID when you go to vote. I had a womon come to me one year (mother of one of our secretaries) who went to vote in a D district (Pgh’s Hill District) and was told that she voted already... she made a fuss and was allowed to vote, but the first one was counted too. Wonder how many times this happened?
“...percentage-wise, it’s not a very big number.
But, enough to toss the election to the party that cheats.
Winning is everything as control is the key to money and patronage. Meanwhile, we Republicans worry if our candidates are pure enough and will sit out if we don’t get our every wish.
yes, and now .....theyre right behind you!
wonder what the stats are in Westmoreland co. I would not be surprised were my dearly departed Dem dad still voting....
That is just so lifist. How dare they take away the right of the dead to vote. after all, we know they all INTENDED to vote Dem for the rest of eternity.
In Pittsburgh? Its a given they are 99%+ dem votes
Guarantee. The fake voters voted democrat. This corrupt party will do anything to get back into power. It doesn’t bother them that the deciding votes came from dead people. All they want is power.
This is what we, in certain weird circles, call the, “Zombie Vote.”
Democrats.
Although I think the dead should lobby Congress for voting rights.
They could claim their civil rights are being violated.
(If they can vote, they can lobby.)
The Democratic Party strongly supports full Civil Rights for Necro-Americans!
Pittsburgh is just another rat infested big city. They would elect a terminally ill death row convict running as a democrat. It was 1926 the last time a Republican was elected mayor there. Any questions? This is a dog bites man story.
