Will Democrats Win the Dead Vote?

One of my dad’s favorite sayings was, “Live fast, die young, and leave a good looking corpse.”

How about a corpse that can vote?

An outfit called Project Veritas – run by James O’Keefe, who made the videos that brought down ACORN – ran a little experiment in New Hampshire Tuesday and found that without voter ID requirements, dead people were offered a rare opportunity to participate in the political process.

Because you see, Mssrs. Obama and Holder, states want voter ID laws not to prevent minorities from voting, but to PREVENT THE DECEASED FROM VOTING.

Attorney General Eric Holder has been waging an increasingly aggressive campaign of late against state mandatory voter ID laws.

Because he’s concerned about discrimination. Against zombies.

Dead people have long been a major Democratic constituency, given that Democrats mostly control the big cities where such voter fraud – and other types – tends to occur.

Now, if Republicans could somehow swing some of the dead people vote their way, everything might equal out in the end. But it’s just statistically inescapable that since the population tends to be more concentrated in Democratic urban strongholds, the cemeteries have a greater population of fresh corpses as well.

Absolutley.

[SeekAndFind]

The Dead ALWAYS vote for Democrats.

100% of them do.

[freedumb2003]

Not that this isn’t ping-worthy, but what makes it of special interest to Catholics?

Unless you are upset that those in Purgatory are being left out...?

Will Democrats Win the Dead Vote?

They always do...

[Jack Burton007]

The reason zombies vote 100% Democrat is you have to be brain dead to vote liberal. So it stands to reason that zombies would be 100% liberal voters.

Really? This was his personal favorite? There are many different ways a writer could've segued into the topic of "dead" voters, but this was not an especially good one.

[Kartographer]

Of course!

[jersey117]

I imagine all of obama’s corpsemen will be voting.

[Buckeye McFrog]

I hear Romney believes he can win away a sizeable chunk of the dead vote if he runs enough negative ads

[The Sons of Liberty]

Will Democrats Win the Dead Vote?

Of course, but it's getting tougher and tougher since states are enacting voter ID laws.

[The_Media_never_lie]

There should be a law against Voting While Dead.

[KTM rider]

they should also investigate the new “early voting” system . In LA CA 2008 presidential election I witnessed many people in line at the county recorders office recieiving “Provisional Ballots” no ID, address or SS# required, they just give a name and get a ballot, the concept is to not disenfranchise the homeless population , they just hand them over to the same people in line all day long , they get a ballot , vote and get back in line. The lines are hundreds deep and the voters arrive in busses, it goes on for weeks before the election

[SparkyBass]

Ummmm... let me think long and hard on that question...

Dead people have long been a major Democratic constituency

walking and otherwise.

[nascarnation]

The Dead ALWAYS vote for Democrats.

Generally correct but not 100%.

I know a guy whose uncle has been dead since 1992.

Said uncle does two things every year.

Votes Republican and renews his tickets for the Masters golf tournament.

I don't care who you are, that there was funny.
