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

FBI and local police are investigating how at least 19 dead Virginians were recently re-registered to vote.

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

"His family members were very distraught," said Garst.

A clerk 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."

All of the forms had been submitted by a private group that was working to register voters on the campus of James Madison University, according to the Harrisonburg registrar's office. The group was not identified. No charges have been filed.

Republicans in the state House of Delegates, who in recent years have supported tighter voter ID laws, held a conference call with reporters to call attention to the investigation.

House Minority Leader David J. Toscano (D-Charlottesville) said the case was not proof of voter fraud because no one had actually managed to cast a vote in the names of the dead.

"First of all, there was no voter fraud — they caught him," Toscano said. "Nobody cast a vote. There's still no evidence of that going on in the state. But there is evidence every time you turn around that the Republicans are trying to make it more difficult for citizens to vote in elections."

Well, his family members need to get down to DNC HQ and demand an explanation, then.

Wow.

I would have volunteered at a factory or something but I wouldn’t see bullets until I POSITIVELY ABSOLUTELY HAD TOO!

[Bullish]

Death turned them into reliable, straight democrat ticket voters.

Funny how that happens.

[Sir Bangaz Cracka]

How does this even make the news? SOP for decades in counties Democrats control.

[Robert357]

You got to understand that Democrats are getting ready for the 2020 election and the biggest round of voter fraud this country has ever seen.

“...House Minority Leader David J. Toscano (D-Charlottesville) said the case was not proof of voter fraud because no one had actually managed to cast a vote in the names of the dead. ......”

[USCG SimTech]

Nation-wide repeated 10 million times or more.

Being dead should make it impossible for the deceased to vote. This should be considered voter-registration fraud.

[Boomer]

Democrats are corrupt scum.

That's why they vote for even more corrupt scum to become Corruptocrats.

[reed13k]

Make it a fine on the registered party and watch the Dems start to resign everyone from Dem to Repub....Now you’ve identified the suspect ones and can easily remove them.

[subterfuge]

“I didn’t do it! Nobody saw me! You can’t prove anything!”

[gunsequalfreedom]

The group was not identified. No charges have been filed.

And why not?

“The group was not identified. No charges have been filed.”
Why not?

Yes, the all important zombie vote.
Living challenged is no bar to voting, apparently?

[willyd]

There were a lot of 14 15 16 year olds that signed up and answered the call... different time ... the greatest generation

[dp0622]

Yeah they were..I’d hang up on the call :)

[SandRat]

Huh???!!! ARREST the DUMBICRATS.

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

A Charlottesville Democratic asshole. Wonder if he fought with Antifa against the far-right 300 a couple years ago?

[Pajamajan]

bttt

[gogeo]

Not voter fraud...election fraud.

[gogeo]

Exactly so.

So, this craven old shyster's delineation of illegality isn't that a dead man was actually registered to vote years after he'd been planted in the dirt, but that he didn't actually cast a vote after he'd be registered? Then tried to spin it as a snivel rights issue concocted by those eeee-vul Republicans? He just needs to be stomped into a little puddle of goo and left in the mud.
