53,000 Dead Voters Found in Florida

[mandym]

I have learned that Florida election officials are set to announce that the secretary of state has discovered and purged up to 53,000 dead voters from the voter rolls in Florida.

How could 53,000 dead voters have sat on the polls for so long? Simple. Because Florida hadn’t been using the best available data revealing which voters have died. Florida is now using the nationwide Social Security Death Index for determining which voters should be purged because they have died.

Here is the bad news. Most states aren’t using the same database that Florida is. In fact, I have heard reports that some election officials won’t even remove voters even when they are presented with a death certificate. That means that voter rolls across the nation still are filled with dead voters, even if Florida is leading the way in detecting and removing them.

But surely people aren’t voting in the names of dead voters, the voter fraud deniers argue. Wrong.

It is hard to fix willful stupidity.

There are many elderly retirees living in Florida. Certainly many more than 53,000 die between election cycles. This means that it's possible many thousands of names are not removed from the voter registration rolls. This is not voter fraud. This is incompetence or laziness on the part of the secretary of state of Florida.

These dead people's names could still be in the system as registered voters but none of them are going to the polls and signing their name in the voter book next to their address and casting a ballot!

Furthermore it would be difficult for an organization (think ACORN) to systematically collect the names of dead people, apply for absentee ballots for each individual, intercept the ballot being mailed to the dead person's house, fill it out, sign it and return it.

Furthermore it is not difficult. And in fact that is exactly what folks like Acorn do.

How does Acorn find out who had died and is still on the voter rolls?

The solution is what? For every voter to show up in person with a government issued ID card?

You mean like a driver's license?

But that would discrimination against the dead.

Absolutely not. The answer is to have a national data base that keeps records of all deaths so that anyone who seeks to registers cannot use a dead persons SS or drivers license to register.

Please provide a link where this is shown to have occurred. AFAIK, there are dead people remaining on the voter rolls but no one is using their ID's or SSN to register to vote because they are already registered.

Not everyone has a driver's license. There are thousands, probably millions of elderly people that no longer drive but desire to continue voting.

But that would discrimination against the dead.

:laugh:

Google it.

No, I'm not going to do your heavy lifting for you. You asserted it, you provide proof. Show me where voter fraud is occurring where people are taking the SSN and driver's licenses of dead people and using them to register to vote.

You're quite tiresome. You don't answer direct questions, instead it's "Watch the video" "Did you watch the video?" or "Google it."

Really, if you're going to make stuff up in your head (that's called delusional, BTW, a mental illness) guess what you need to do?

C & F!!

Ha!

Pretty close.

Okay, fellas, back on topic. Thanks. LE

Wow, that would knock obama out with his Connecticut SS of a dead man! (Sorry, I couldn't resist! )
