Local 2 investigates dead voters.
The push to register voters for this year's presidential election is breaking records.
More than 1.9 million people are registered to vote in Harris County alone.
But how many of the people listed on the voter roll are actually eligible to cast a ballot?
Investigative reporter Amy Davis shows you how hundreds of voters could sway this year's election -- voters who are not even alive.
"All-in-all, a great person, a great woman, just a wonderful person" is how Alexis Guidry described her mother to Local 2 Investigates.
"As far back as I can remember, they've always voted in the election," Guidry said of her parents.
The March 2008 Primary was no exception. Voting records show Alexis' mom, Gloria Guidry, cast her ballot in person near her South Houston home.
"It was just very shocking, a little unsettling," said Alexis Guidry.
It's unsettling because Gloria Guidry died of cancer 10 months before the March Primary.

My father died in St. Pete, FL this February.
In all seriousness:
How can I make sure no ACORN crooks don’t vote in his name?
If they already know the names of “deceased voters”, why not flag them and wait for the cheater to show up? Hauling a few people away in handcuffs from the polling places would make an impression, would it not?
I would call the Board of Elections in your county and ask if he is still on the rolls to vote. If so, ask them how to have his name removed. It may be as simple as a xerox of his death certificate.
LOL! Inaccurate though. ACORN never needed to resort to doing this in the dead of night.
Remember the bit on Rush they did called “Night Of The Voting Dead”? Carville showed up with voter registrations for Sitting Bull and General Custer!
That cartoon is correct is spirit (heh heh), but grossly inaccurate in depiction.
No, I don’t remember that, but how funny!
Since Houston is a sanctuary city; they better check for illegals that are voting.
thanks. will do.
My daughter went to college in the mid 80’s. She voted by absentee ballot the first year, then she registered where she was living at college. She voted there for 2 years before she got married. After her marriage, she re-registered using her married name. A year later they moved and re-registered, and 2 years later they moved to a different state.
I have received an absentee ballot for her every single year since she first registered to vote, 1988.
We called the county and told them she was gone. Didn’t help. The county sent a post card asking her to return it if she still lives here. We threw it away. Still we received ballots. In 2004 I talked directly with the Sec of State, he said he would take care of it as soon as he huhg up. I still receive ballots.
Same situation with a daughter-in-law. She also received a jury summons.
This is totally out of hand. I was the one that found the first dead voter in the 2004 election concerning Dino Rossi for Governor. NOTHING was done about all that, NOTHING.
I checked out of politics after that, until a couple weeks ago.
No matter which way this election goes, we need to work harder after this election than we are currently. We need to prepare for the next one both in terms of candidates and getting this voting mess straightened out.
Damn skippy! Capital Idea!
What is the likelihood that two people getting names from a graveyard for ACORN are two white guys?
I thought the dead retained the right to vote in Texas. Isn’t it in the state constitution??
Take a copy of his death certificate to the registrar's office and tell her since you are concerned about all the voter fraud across the country, you want to make sure they know your father is dead and should be taken off the rolls.
Not if they're minorities. If they are, vote fraud doesn't matter - only "disenfranchised voters" count!
