This just shows you how important this election is. Even the dead are coming back to vote!

[weegee]

Article says 11 cases are under investigation already.

The Clintons raised taxes on the dead retroactively last time they took office.

a disgusting shame. young men and women have died while fighting for the right to vote in fair and accurate elections and some punk is falsifying votes. (if it’s a democrat punk, i’ll dislike him 97 percent more.)

[xrmusn]

He lost to a dead candidate in that state

Hmm. She must be from Chicago.

[Redcloak]

Only one? That's news!

"You watch - if the vote gets thrown out, someone will cry that they've been defrauded!"

...or at least disenfranchised.

Theres a whole bunch of room temperature democrats who get disenfranchised every election....and a whole lot more who overcome being dead to cast their votes.

[relee]

LoL!

I saw this thread and thought of you!

We have no right to discriminate against the metabolically challenged.../sarc

[Krankor]

Well, to be fair, being dead is the ultimate in absenteeism.

And just how did you manage to think of that one?

bttt

[StarCMC]

Exactly my first thought. STL city politics are sooooo dirty.

[StarCMC]

No - that would be Jim Talent, not John Ashcroft.

[xrmusn]

Liberals and clinton related BS bring out the worst in me.

[The Pack Knight]

No, it was Ashcroft. John Ashcroft lost to Mel Carnahan for Senate in 2000, though Carnahan had died two weeks earlier.

The Governor then appointed Carnahan's widow, Jean Carnahan, to serve in her late husband's place until a special election in 2002, where she lost to Jim Talent.

Jim Talent served out the rest of Mel Carnahan's term, until he lost to Claire McCaskill, who was very much alive, in 2006.

St. Louis is dead inner city. I have spent travel time there working at NGA. No surprise here.
