MOBILE, Ala. – Reynolds Smith Jr. was a stalwart Democratic voter in Alabama.
But the Alabama Democratic Party overlooked another fact when it appointed Smith to an interim party panel: He died in November at age 83.
Party executive director Jim Spearman told the Press-Register on Tuesday that the mistake was caused by outdated records.
He said the party received Smith's name from a 2006 list of candidates for the Mobile County committee and then used a voter list to verify him as an active voter.
The panel was charged with replacing the local party's executive committee.

Did Smith vote ANYWAY?... In many places the dead can still vote.. In Chicago the dead are very active politically.. and probably Detroit too.. Oh! and Pennsylvania.. Ugh.. and Louisiana...

At least he was probably a citizen, more than I can say for the guy the democrats drafted for President.

How would anyone know? The guy’s voted in every election, several times.
Maybe they need to mark them as Dd - dem dead, just to keep track.

Died in November.
I wonder if that was before or after he voted for Obama.
To: hosepipe
If he died after November 4th, his vote could even be legitimate.

Brain dead...still eligible to serve.
Rest of body dead...not eligible to serve.
