Elections leader wants probe of more than 900 dead voters
Aiken Standard ^ | 1-12-12 | Jim Davenport

COLUMBIA -- State officials are calling for an investigation after records determined that more than 900 people listed as deceased also have recently voted, calling into question the integrity of the state's election system as South Carolina's first-in-the-South GOP presidential primary just 10 days away.

What's unclear from the analysis released Wednesday to a House Judiciary Committee panel from the state Department of Motor Vehicles is whether voter fraud was committed by people assuming the identities of the deceased or if poor record keeping has resulted in South Carolina residents being classified as deceased.

Kevin Shwedo, director of the Department of Motor Vehicles, did not have answers, saying that would be up to investigators. He based his testimony before lawmakers on state Election Commission records that included when people last voted and matched that with death records.

The panel took no action on his report.

"If you have voted after you are dead, there is a good, strong possibility that you did something illegal," he said to reporters after speaking to the panel. "At that point in time, it comes out of my hands and goes into legal hands. ... It's not my job to explain that."

But I thought that we don’t need voter ID laws because the rate of election fraud is so low....

It’s almost like the state needed Voter ID laws or something.

I’m sure Holder will be all over this. Protecting the rights of the dead to vote and to vote rat is high on the DOJ agenda.

“If you have voted after you are dead, there is a good, strong possibility that you did something illegal,”

So if you get caught voting while dead, does the Probate Court whack your estate with a fine? Maybe they knock your headstone over?

The ‘Rats just want what is best for us.

We are just too stupid to understand their beautiful motives.

“State officials are calling for an investigation after records determined that more than 900 people listed as deceased also have recently voted”

Sheesh! How “racist” to even mention it.

It is much more serious than just kmocking your headstone over. You must re-register as a democrat. If you are a democrat there is no penalty.

... and whom do you think they voted for?

Recent polls show that the (d)ead vote(D)emocrat 98.6% of the time. In this years GOP presidential preference primary, the dead turnout is expected to be low, and significantly lower than 2008 when the incumbant recieved 64.6% of the dead vote in SC. (H Clinton was second polling favorably with 22.9% of dead voters).

Interview requests with likely voters who are dead met with no response.

Is there truly any study that gives us proof of what we know, that almost every fraudulent vote is for democRats?

Were the recent dead votes for the SC GOP Primary?

If so, I smell a Romney Rat.

How about a $10,000 fine and 1 year nonsuspendable jail term if you are convicted of election fraud?

In today's environment there are few reasons that the voter roles can't be better maintained. A computer program whereby all deaths, drivers license changes, felony convictions, residency changes, marriages/divorces, etc could be flagged and sent to the voter registration section for necessary actions. The fact that the various gov’t departments don't provide info across lines speaks to the lack of respect the elected officials have for their constituitents.

It was not my intent to mislead you. There is no study that I know of the support my figures. I would presume that any such study with “uncovering fraud” as the object would itself be injected with further fraud to protect the unrepentant guilty. Funny thing is... we all KNOW who is doing it.

I always like to point out that 72.1% of all statistics people recite are made up on the spot.

I continue to believe that the dead are only the tip of the iceberg so far as fraudulent voting is concerned. The numbers of people who have moved out of one voting precinct to another must be much more numerous.
