53,000 Dead Voters Found in Florida

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.

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

Consider the case of Lafayette Keaton. Keaton not only voted for a dead person in Oregon, he voted for his dead son. Making Keaton’s fraud easier was Oregon’s vote by mail scheme, which has opened up gaping holes in the integrity of elections. The incident in Oregon just scratches the surface of the problem. Massachusetts and Mississippi are but two other examples of the dead rising on election day.

Florida should be applauded for taking the problem seriously, even if Eric Holder’s Justice Department and many state election officials don’t.

Keaton

[Jack Hydrazine]

I see dead people. Dead people voting for...Democrats!

[Shadow44]

But we don’t need Voter ID laws. Eric Holder will take care of everything! /sarc

“How could 53,000 dead voters have sat on the polls for so long?”...

How did Obama get elected?

[ICE-FLYER]

53000 less votes for obama!

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Republicans want to disenfranchise the dead!!!

[In Maryland]

This will be in court in a heartbeat - the SSA Death index is notoriously unreliable for such a purpose. It was not designed to be.

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

The Democratic Party strongly supports the civil rights of Necro-Americans!

[null and void]

I bet cross-referencing NYC voter roles would be very illuminating...

[Buckeye Battle Cry]

53,000 dead!?! Must have been something they ate.

[onyx]

He looks dead. He likely vote after he’s dead.
Damn demonic-rats.

[philetus]

If current trends continue, people will soon be marching for Rights for dead people.

[Kartographer]

I am sure there will be a lawsuite by some Lib group charging Florida with voter surpression of the 'Dead Vote' and violation of their civilrights.

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

I can certianly see where there would be confusion trying to distinguish Mr. Keaton from a dead man. Not a fresh dead man, either, dead three weeks in Florida in July kinda dead.

[Red Badger]

They must have caught Bird Flu!.............

[Signalman]

The Dems keep saying the voter fraud is a “non-problem” and that it rarely happens. Yeah, right.

[SandRat]

Proof that Dem Libs are Zombies like we thought.

[Resettozero]

Making Keaton’s fraud easier was Oregon’s vote by mail scheme, which has opened up gaping holes in the integrity of elections.

Gaping holes? Integrity of elections? Gosh, do ya suppose there's been some fraud or something like that going on? Someone better get in touch with local elections officials to see if they might know about any fraud. Yes, they would want to know about for sure. Better report it to Elections Officials and make absolutely sure all hanky-panky is stopped once and for all. What if this spread to other locales? Why, this nation could be in jeopardy!

[treetopsandroofs]

No mention of political party whatsoever, so I’m betting there we VERY FEW Republicans among them.

FU Rats!

[Servant of the Cross]

And I’ve seen dead people posting ... on FR!

[treetopsandroofs]

Wouldn’t it prevent the messiah from voting?

[Dead Corpse]

If MN does this, watch for our State to flip back to Red.

[ozzymandus]

And every one of the 53,000 zombie voters was a registered RAT!

[ArrogantBustard]

Well ...

You don’t even have to be human to post on FR.

[skr]

He looks nearly dead himself.

I fear that even with voter ID reforms that absentee ballots are too easy to meddle with on both sides of the mailing process.

[deport]

With the advent of computer systems there is no reason for the voter roles not to be purged upon death, felony conviction, relocation via drivers license info, marriage, divorce, etc. A system could be devise to notify the voter registrar when an event occurs and then the voter roles could be checked to determine any discrepancy requiring removal. jmo.

[arthurus]

All Democrats! The Dead-American vote is very important to Democrat hopes and dreams.

[ScottinVA]

53,000 dead voters in FL, along with 200,000 non-citizens on the voting rolls.

And by how much did Obama win FL in 2008?

[cripplecreek]

The constitution says all people get representation, it doesn’t say they have to be alive. LOL

[Daffynition]

This is great news....so now I won't expect any long lines for the *Early Bird Specials.*

[cripplecreek]

[Beagle8U]

I know that at one time the city of Detoilet had more registered voters than it had residents over the age of 18.

[dangus]

Oh, the humanity!

No, wait... I don’t think that’s how they meant it.

[sheana]

My mom passed almost 3 yrs ago. I called SSA immediately and they took back her check immediately. They asked me to send them a copy of the death cert which I did not do. Couldn’t see any reason to send it since they had already stopped payment on any monies. They probably still have her listed as alive since they did not receive a death cert.
I imagine that happens alot.

[ExCTCitizen]

Florida should be applauded for taking the problem seriously

Thank you Florida...

[SengirV]

53K on the rolls, but how many actually voted?

[Maringa]

I have to ask this question....

I can see the possibility of dead voters being on the voter roll...people die all of the time, and as efficient as government is...I can see it taking a while to scrub the list...

Question: do they have definite proof that all 53,000 voted (somebody voted on their behalf)? Actual fraud?

Don’t want to minimize the concern or potential for fraud...

“53,000 dead!?! Must have been something they ate.”

Nope. It was something they drank. Liberal Koolaid.

[Bigg Red]

LOL!

[adorno]

Walking Dems?

You mean: Walking Deadmocrats.

[adorno]

The Dems keep saying the voter fraud is a “non-problem” and that it rarely happens.

Technically, they're correct.

You just have to read between the lines, and then, you'll notice what they really meant.

Elections don't happen every day, and they don't even happen every week or every month, and most elections don't even happen every year.

So, in spin mode, the democrats are telling the "truth". However, if one were to rephrase the question of voter fraud, no doubt that, it occurs every election. In fact, it occurs "all the time" and not "rarely", if one were to talk about each election day.

[tomkat]

Mass grave ?  or just laying around willy/nilly ? ?

[apology in advance if this smartassed comment is already covered, unread & upthread ;-]

[Popman]

No wonder Rick Scott (FL Gov) is despised by the left....for good reason

I'm sure the DNC just crapped in their pants losing that percent of votes guaranteed

I have always said we need to be leading by 2 percent in any race to be even to cover the dem fraud...

[ThePatriotsFlag]

How many of these were Democrats?

[chemicalman]

Mary Landrieu is salivating. Didn’t know Landrieu’s base moved to Fla. from N.O. Must have been the no state income tax.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Without “The Walking Dead”, commie ‘RATS would never get “elected”. Even those ‘RAT voters still processing oxygen have one foot in the grave. Lazy, freeloading bass turds.

The Zombie Votapocalypse..

It was Divine providence in 2000 IMHO that Bush won.

Gore and Company Cheated, Marry Matalin tipped her hat in the 33 days from hell noting they had the strategy to win via the electoral college, IMHO they knew they were gonna try to snooker them.

They tired to cheat, they lost by 600+ votes, sucks to be them.

Thank G_d we had GWB @ the helm for 9-11....
