>>It seems like the LEAST that would be done, would be to have the deceased woman’s name removed from the voter registration listings.<<
There is a very simple way of addressing the issue of the dead voting. Pass a federal law requiring the Social Security department to send a public notice to the official county newspaper and to the county clerk of every death within 30 days of being notified of the death. All the notice would have to say is “Died, (date of death), (name of deceased), (age of deceased at death), (address)” along with a brief description of the amount of jail time the current county registrar will serve if the name is not removed from the voting rolls. The public notice in the paper will ensure that names are removed in “Progressive” counties also.
And, for starters, Social Security could send a complete list of all residents in each precinct in the county with the same information, specifying it to be an electronic public record open to general inspection. It would be fascinating to go through Chicago’s listing, by the way.
Plus it would be fun to see how the Dems claim such a law to be “voter suppression” because in their case it most likely would be exactly that.
The insurance companies are notified of deaths in this manner, I believe by the SSA, so they could add this to the process.
