FL is known for this also. You have to request to have dead people removed. A friend of mine, many years after her grandparent died, was made to jump through hoops to have him removed.

The only thing that keeps thousands of dead folks from voting here are our photo ID laws. Thank heaven that was put in years ago. The slavish MSM here (the Tampa Times is one of the very worst in bias) complains bitterly about it regularly, but it’s been law for many years.

federal law does not prohibit the state from removing voters who were never lawfully eligible to register in the first place

Oh, lordy! Thank you, benevolent overlords!

Yea, but at least when you wheel in the stiff, they will ask for a picture ID. Of course, even without the ID being produced, the stiff will get a ballot.

I wonder what kind of stats can and will be gleaned from this effort.

Just finding John Doe and purging him is a small step in the attempt to truly clean up politics.

Did John Doe get listed in ... ohhh .. I don't know ... maybe 1999 ... or 2003.

Was John listed as D, R or I ?

Was John and all his compatriots from one county as opposed to another, or many ?

Was John a student.

How old is John ?


What I mean is ... it would be helpful to clean up Florida politics if a couple of hundred or thousand John Does, age 18 - 25 came from one county.

My first wife went home in June of 2004.

I never thought to notify the registrar but that November election, she was gone from our small town voting book in SW Pa.

Why spend hundreds of millions on congresses, senates, governors, a president, when we could just have a judge tell us what we can and can't do?

MD doesn’t have ID laws.

Every election, thousands rise from the Baltimore cemeteries and vote.

Unless the stiff is a Republican.

They’ll just get a post-mortem beatdown from the Barack Panthers.

We need to end the NVRA or water it down so much that it no longer takes states out of action. TX lost its redistricting due to “racism”, yet Illinois gets a pass. This law is outdated and dumb.

My father was a Republican in Massachusetts and voted Republican in every election until the day he died.

He's been voting Democrat ever since.

I firmly believe that every death certificate issued should have a copy sent to the local/state registrar of voters.

I think that’s probably what happened in my case, but I wasn’t paying too much attention to ANYthing those days.

Just how does a labor union have “standing” to sue?

Liberals lose lawsuit to keep illegal voters on voter rolls.

What great news!! We must keep fighting the voter fraud of the DEMS!

That is why electing honest folks to the position of Supervisor of Elections in each Florida County is so very important! I hope ALL Florida voters will help elect the best person in their particular FL county!

Voters in Orange County have the chance to elect Dan Fanelli as their Supervisor of Elections on November 6th! My hubby and I know Dan personally, and he will make sure Orange County voters have fair and honest elections!
Please give your support to Dan here: http://www.ocfordan.com/

Please read below!
Orange County Voters need to elect Dan Fanelli as their Supervisor Of Elections!

NEWS RELEASE – Oct 2, 2012
Attorney General, Election Commission Receive Charges of Criminal
Violations of Fla. Statutes by Orange Election Supervisor Bill Cowles

WINTER PARK, FLA – The offices of Florida State Attorney General, Florida Election Commission, Florida Division of Elections, and Commission on Ethics are all in possession of charges that Orange County Supervisor of Elections Bill Cowles has more than a half-dozen violations of state statutes dealing mostly with the retesting of the county’s ballot-counting machines, which tabulated the wrong ballot totals on the pre-Primary evaluation.

Daniel R. Fanelli, who is running against Cowles in the coming November elections, filed the charges this week with the various state agencies.
Fanelli’s complaint includes charges that Cowles:

· Failed to publicly notice the retesting of machines that failed the recent Logic & Accuracy test on Aug. 1, and failed to publicly notice the retest 48 hours in advance; · Failed to appoint a Canvassing Board Member to attend the retest;
· Allowed only a technician and two of the technician’s assistants to be present during the retest;
· Failed to notify the public or the candidates that the retest was going to take place;
· Failed to complete the testing before voting began;
· Failed to allow Fanelli (the only candidate present) to verify the results of the unnoticed earlier test, or to visually inspect the required “resetting” of the voting machines (Fanelli was quarantined in a fenced area some distance from the machines, and was unable to visually witness the “resetting” or “zeroing” of the tabulating equipment, as guaranteed by Florida statutes. His requests to move closer to the machines being tested was denied by Cowles’ attorney, as witnessed by Dorothy Lambert);
· Failed to comply with Florida Statutes by willfully not complying with the provisions above.
Chapter 104.051 of the Florida Statutes: ”(1) “Any official who willfully violates any of the provisions of this election code shall be excluded from the polls. Any election official who is excluded shall be replaced as provided in this code. (2) Any official who willfully refuses or willfully neglects to perform his or her duties as prescribed by this election code is guilty of a misdemeanor of the first degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082 or s. 775.083.”

It should be noted that Cowles complied with the applicable statutes to notice the August 1 L&A test (the same test where the machines failed), so there is no question that he has knowledge of the statutory provisions. Cowles has been the Orange Supervisor of Elections for 16 years, thus, he is well aware that testing must be noticed in advance, that a member of the Canvassing Board must be present at the testing of the tabulating equipment, that the public and others must be noticed and that any candidate is allowed to view the resetting of the tabulating machines. It appears possible, or even likely, that Cowles willfully and knowingly disregarded the Florida Statutes during the last election. The failed test could have been done in July, instead of waiting until August 1, just three days before early voting would begin for the August 14 election.
Cowles’ actions may have jeopardized the integrity of our elections and violated the public trust. By not noticing the required retest, it appears Cowles was attempting to protect his reputation or that of his office by avoiding the publicity that would result from failing such an important test during an election year, or simply that he is ignorant of the statutory requirements of his office.

Fanelli: “If the current Supervisor of Elections cannot administer a test of only approximately 650 ballots without multiple errors, how can we have confidence that under his supervision it can accurately oversee a countywide election of more than 650,000 registered voters in 227 precincts?”
When the Aug. 1 test failed, Cowles had insufficient time to schedule the retest, which by law, must be properly noticed and completed before early voting started on August 4. However, the Canvassing Board did not meet until August 6 to review and approve the retest results, and then zero the tested machines to ensure the 650 “test” votes were not included in the actual election results.

Fanelli is a 1978 graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy, served honorably in the Navy for 20 years (8.5 years active duty, 11.5 years in the Naval Reserves), became a pilot for Northwest Airlines (was the Captain of a flight diverted on approach into Washington, D.C. during the 9-11 terrorist attacks), and was a Congressional Candidate against Alan Grayson in 2010.

Just how does a labor union have “standing” to sue? According to the article two of the "non-citizen" voters are union members.

(Plus, in the Age Of Barry, labor unions reign supreme)
