This is my own position, and if it is in the wrong venue, just change it, but I really don’t need to be bitch-slapped by the self-annointed keepers of Freeper Purity! (And you guys know who you are!)
Okay, my Mom passed away about three years ago. My sister, who was living with her, is getting ready to retire and move away. I suggested to her that she make sure that Mom’s name has been removed from the voter registration rolls.
I believe that it is incumbent on all of us who have lost beloved family members, to insure that their names have been removed from the voter registration rolls. Those are a major segment of the DemocRAT constituency.
Personnally, I hate to think that after a lifetime of voting faithfully for the Republican Party, my Mom might now be voting Democrat!
“’E’s not dead yet”
Is it possible to contact your local elections board and inquire as to weather a deceased loved one/relative has voted in recent elections?
Good reminder, Duke.
Shes voting absentee you hater!
When my mom died just before the 2010 mid-terms, I took her voter registration card, drivers license, and death certificate to the county election clerk and asked her to remove my mom’s name from the list of eligible voters. When she asked why I was doing this I said I wanted to make sure she didn’t vote democrat in the next election. Someone standing behind her in the office actually spit out their coffee laughing.
I live in a small city, where the majority of voters are registered Democrats. My polling place has about 800 people on their roster. My dad died 10 years ago. I noticed for several elections after that, that his name was still on the list of eligible voters. I pointed it out to the poll workers each time. They told me that they only “purge their files once every 2 years.” WTH?
Just pack up dear old mom and dad’s corpses and go to your nearest voter registration.
If you need to register just go around the stack of bodies.
and it sounds like they missed him 5 times then
Great advice, but why would any Freeper want to “bitch-slap” you? Am I missing some humor here?
I did exactly the same thing and got the same exact response.
>>Just pack up dear old mom and dad’s corpses and go to your nearest voter registration.
some clerks would approve those voters and let you go in the booth to assist them in voting.
Good call. After the Missus passed, the very next election included a check to be sure her name had been removed from the rolls.
If her name had been used to vote dem, there’d be some real he11 to pay (redhead!).
Good reminder.

Weekend at Bernie’s.
Unless someone has been committing Social Security fraud, the local registrar of voters should have picked this up from the Social Security Death Index.
No bitch slap for you, but why is this your sister’s job, even if she is local and you are not? Simply write a letter to the local registrar, explain the facts, request confirmation that your mother’s name has been removed, and attach a copy of the death certificate.
That is awesome!
First, sorry your mom is gone. Second, you have the right idea. Some states are actually fighting the fed rules that say they have to clean up their voter rolls. Last, doncha hate it when you die and someone steals your identity and does nothing with it except vote Demoncrat???!!!
