Retired Encinitas teacher admits cursive writing on mail ballots similar to hers.
The November 2012 mail ballot cast in the name of Dara Welty carries a signature that looks nothing like hers.
That’s no surprise.
Welty — nature lover, world traveler, opera singer — died in Bolivia in 1998 at age 22. Her home was in Encinitas, where she remains registered to vote to this day.
Since her death, 14 votes have been cast in her name. U-T Watchdog found the suspicious pattern and reported on it in July. The District Attorney’s Office this week determined there was “insufficient evidence” to bring charges on the apparent voter fraud.
The Watchdog on Thursday decided to review evidence available at the county elections office. Registrar of Voters Michael Vu made available redacted copies of certain Welty voting records, the same ones he sent to DA investigators.
Vu also allowed the Watchdog to inspect records from Welty’s mother, Dolores, who still lives at the home where the singer’s mail ballots have been sent. The daughter’s 14 ballots were all cast in the same elections her mother voted in.
The daughter’s actual signature, from a voter registration form filled out in 1993, was scrawled in tightly packed capital letters, with lines on the W and Y reaching up like tree branches.
The signature on her recent voting record were in more expansive cursive. The letters, by her mother’s admission, appear similar to those made by her mother on her own ballot cast in the same election and in her other voter records.

Gratuitous 70s TV ping!
The insurance companies are notified of deaths in this manner, I believe by the SSA, so they could add this to the process.
Wanna bet the Dist Attorney is a card carrying RAT? There needs to be independent investigations nationwide. And independent investigations of the investigators.
Perhaps this represents the difference between evidence of a crime and evidence sufficient for a prosecution.
“In most states they won’t even kill child murderers, so good luck with that!”
It needs to be a Federal crime, right up there with Treason.
“Maybe that is the goal of the government.”
Maybe? Ask “who benefits?” and then notice the consistent absence of prosecutions.
To the representative foundations of a republic, abetted voter fraud is the most lethal malfeasance.
Wonder what other incidents of forgery and fraud are taking place at that address? It could be rather informative to see what a credit report says, not to mention a check for state or federal benefits going to someone who passed away over a decade ago.
Somehow, I just don’t think this is the only thing she’s done with her daughter’s forged signature.
how many voters registered there?
