I can hear the talking heads rhetoric, now. "The Republicans want to disenfranchise the dead!"

If this isn't the funniest, most appropo statement for this finding in Texas of registered DEAD voters....what is?

I nominate this for quote of the day,week and maybe year! MARVELOUS! It pulls it all into perspective!

Can this be true.............SIXTEEN THOUSAND ineligible or dead voters???? Incredible.

I've been considering posting this over at DU with a message for all good Rats to get on the phone to their election commission and prevent this travesty from happening.

Even Jimmy Carter once agreed that a person could cast a vote for at least three years after death.

It's funny and sad at the same time.

We are going to stop this sh*t in its tracks. Just watch election reform take root under a republican house and senate...and just watch the wails of disenfranchisement lofting out of the dem camp, so used to relying on cheating to win at the voting booth-especially in specifically nasty areas where the dems incite racial angst and victemization.

Hidalgo is right smack on the Mexican border. Mexican style corruption oozes northward.

Just because someone died in your county, that doesn't mean that they were registerd to vote in your county.

"registerd" should be "registered"
