DETROIT -- Despite having died eight years ago, Kathe Beddow still retains one mortal privilege: The right to vote.

The city Elections Department in July sent Beddow a voter registration card, even though she hasn't voted in more than a decade. She is also still listed as a registered voter with the Secretary of State's Office.

Same BS happened in Highland Park as well. I think they have 15,000 people or so that live there.

Gore - 4911
Bush - 150
TOTAL - 5100 (33% people registered to vote AND voted?)

Looks like we need to use the same thumb print technology that they use in underdeveloped countries. A scan registered in a central clearing agency is the only way we are going to get away from the chronic cheating that Democrats seem to have mastered.

Both Williams and State Elections Director Chris Thomas say their efforts are hindered by federal laws saying that even when a voter is suspected to no longer be at an address, that person's record can't be purged until after two federal election cycles.

Who wants to bet that it wasn't the Democrat machine that put this law in place?

In India (the world's largest democracy) a voter dips the tip of their index finger in red ink. No print taken, but the voter is marked as having voted...

Can a solvent remove the ink?

Dunno, maybe it's more of a dye. Or any solvent strong enough to remove it isn't anything you'd want on your skin...

Either way, it's a simple and clever approach to a problem that seems to befuddle modern democracies. I simply don't see the problem of providing a photo ID when you go to vote. Somehow, every other transaction from cashing a check to buying a 6 of beer requires ID ... but strangely, the most important -- electing a government -- is so sacrosanct that asking for photo ID is a big deal. And isn't it ironic how the Democrats don't mind everyone getting a national ID card ... but they're damned if photo ID will be required to vote. Wouldn't want to scare off their illegals, children, and dead voters. Eventually, there will be a battleground over voting reform. It may not come now or even in a couple years ... but it's coming. We are going to undergo such a seismic shift in voting demographics that one of two things has to happen: Either parties are going to change radically -- or they're going to have to get a tighter control over the voter rolls.

========================

It's almost like they knew Taylor, Markman and Young were going to win regardless of loaded votes in Wayne, so they didn't even bother messing with it. Notice especially that the number of Bush voters nearly matches the number of Taylor, Markman and Young voters, whereas the Gore voters outnumber the voters for the liberal? candidates by more than 200,000. That, I believe, is the cheat margin.

They spent the time doctoring ballots for Gore and Liberal Debbie, but couldn't spare it in a losing cause for the Supreme Court candidates.

Probably the main reason for this is that you cannot pull a straight party lever for the Supreme Court candidates. You have to mark them each separately. Strange that the Republicans had time to mark their candidates, but the Democrats did not.

========================

Wayne difference ~ 230,000 liberal non-voters in Supremes races.

Gore beat Bush by 220,000 in Michigan.
Stabenow beat Abraham by 65,000.
