Voting the dead is a byproduct of the way democrats do voter fraud.
No party has time to research who died since the last election. It would take forever. Also, that process would allow too many people in on what's happening.
Here's how voter fraud works: democrats vote the people who don't show up to vote. When I was young as we had punch cards the cards of the people who did not come to vote were stacked up and an ice pick was put over the 'chad spot' and a hammer was used to hit the pick with enough force to knock out the chads. That stack of cards 'voted'... dead and all.
It goes to reason that some of the people on the rolls didn't show up BECAUSE THEY WERE DEAD. But they were voted anyhow. As long as the name stays on the voter rolls they can be 'voted'..
I don't know how it's done today with electronic voting machines, but I assume it's similar.
A good way to estimate the extent of the cheating is by looking at the 'dead vote'. The more 'dead vote' the more voter fraud has happened.
I don't buy that. At least try to make it difficult. If this fraud gets bad enough, this Republic is done. At least find politicians with enough stones to issue Federal ID cards or demand to see a gov't issued photo ID card. That, plus a checkoff system of who has already voted, would at least put a dent in it. The technology is there, but the politicians aren't. They like a system that keeps them in office. How 'bout hard term limits?
