He fought in World War II. He died in 2014. And he just registered to vote in Va.

RICHMOND — The FBI and local police are investigating how at least 19 dead Virginians were recently re-registered to vote in this critical swing state.

One case came to light after relatives of a deceased man received a note congratulating him for registering, Rockingham County Commonwealth’s Attorney Marsha Garst said Thursday.

“His family members were very distraught,” said Garst, who confirmed the existence of the FBI and police investigation but said she could provide few details because the case is ongoing.

All 19 were initially registered as voters in the Shenandoah Valley city of Harrisonburg, although a clerk double-checking the entries later raised questions about one. She recognized the name of Richard Allen Claybrook Sr., who died in 2014 at age 87, because his son is a well-known local judge. She happened to recall that the judge’s father had died.

“He was a retired Fairfax County elementary school principal and had fought in World War II,” said his son, retired Harrisonburg General District Court Judge Richard Allen Claybrook Jr. “So our family is very disgusted that they would pick his name, because he was such a law-abiding citizen devoted to public service.”

One small, but important, tweak. I’d change ‘instantly’ to ‘promptly.’ The large bureaucracy validating honest voting will inevitably make some errors. Folks mistakenly deemed dead, etc. There need to be timely review mechanisms in place to protect the honest voter, and his vote, with due—not undue–process. Both honest errors and fraudulent voting should be dealt with appropriately.

Aw, but the Democrats had Ernesto Francisco Torres - recently arrived from El Salvador, all ready to step forward and cast a ballot in Claybrook’s name. Those mean old Republicans are still waging war on the poor. /s

“Very interesting that the FBI is also investigating this. I wonder what federal statute has been violated.”

The last VA election came down to a coin toss so they better fix this problem fast.

Didn’t know that, thanks.

That means all primaries are open primaries, right?

Republicans tend to vote for their best candidate.

Democrats tend to vote for the worst Republican to poison the general election well.

Did I get that right?

Zombie 🧟‍♀️ voters are the best tool of the Demoncrats. They vote early, often, by mail, or in person. They can never be caught because they are dead!

It’s simple to end people who vote multiple times, when you go to vote you dip a finger in purple ink that wont come off for 24 hours. If you request a mail-in ballot your name is checked off and cannot participate in an in person vote. Proving residency and nationality a little more complex but it involves ID.

There has been quite a bit of this going on in Harrisburg. Here’s another case from a few years ago. Kid was caught because he tried registering someone the clerk knew was dead.

Not likely. It is probably one of the poll workers who registered him.

detain and put a 72 hour psychiatric hold anyone claiming to be a dead person...

Once the person's death is confirmed bury them. No bell provided.
