Voter Integrity Project finds 30,000 dead North Carolinians registered to vote
Via the Charlotte Observer: Image from a recent relevant Reason item, linking to a Glenn Reynold’s column in the New York Post.
The Voter Integrity Project compiled the list after obtaining death records from the state Department of Public Health from 2002 to March 31 and comparing them to the voter rolls. “Mainly, what we’re concerned about is the potential [for fraud],” said project director Jay DeLancy. “Since there is no voter ID law in North Carolina, anybody can walk in and claim to be anyone else.”
Sigh. I wish I lived in a country where the citizens were at least educated enough to understand the difference between being on a voter registration list and actually voting. “If wishes were horses,” right, Dan?
Just for kicks, I’ll reproduce below the one paragraph from the article that will most likely be ignored during the handwringing over the reported “study”;
“Earlier this summer, the [Voter Integrity Project] sued to have 528 Wake County residents it claimed were not U.S. citizens removed from the voter registration. The county elections board investigated the complaint and found that all of the voters were citizens and eligible to vote.”

Well the Voter Integrity Project has been fraudulently duping the citizens claiming to be a non-partisan, non-profit corporation. Being a non-profit means that their tax returns are public record. Well according to the State they are not registered as a non-profit, they are a for profit business. Actually they are an affiliate of the Tea-Party Group true the vote!
Sigh.
I wish I lived in a country where condescending assholes did not post to blogs, but, alas, alack… (eye-roll)
“In 2009, 261 cases of voter fraud were sent to local district attorney’s offices in the state, the majority of which concluded investigations from the 2008 election, according to a report by the state Board of Elections. Of those cases, 229 involved convicted felons voting. The board did not investigate anyone for fraud in the May primaries, Wright said.”
There ARE cases…all over the nation…of vote fraud, and the election integrity laws designed to address that are overwhelmingly supported by the people. From all parties.
Let me guess, they all involved ACORN. You are a joke.
“Since 2000, only 10 cases of in-person voter fraud have been proven nationally.”

Yes, there’s no reason to outlaw the potential for fraud or abuse. And here ion Texas the dead vote in alphabetical order. Remember, that’s how LBJ won his Senate seat.

0 dead people found by the state so far!!! In Wake county 142 letters sent out, so far 42 have actually proven they are alive by breathing.
The image you’ve paired with the story here is misleading. It says right in the subhead of the linked article that there’s no evidence any of the recently deceased actually voted. If the Right supported adequate funding of government maybe NC would have had enough staff to have cleaned up those voter rolls by now.
Oh, OF COURSE…!!!
MORE money is the answer!
To the Collective, that is the always the nostrum.

Too bad of the 30,000 names that this business submitted the State has found 0 cases of fraud. In Wake County alone, the county sent out letters to 142 of the dead people and miraculously so far 48 have responded and proved that they are in fact alive. This paper does not note that the Voter Integrity Project that claims to be non-partisan and non-profit is actually registered as a business not a non-profit, and they are a tea party affiliate of true the vote.
I can’t imagine anyone, nevermind thousands of people going through the trouble of finding dead voters, identifying and going to their correct polling location, waiting in line and voting as that person all for one frickin vote. You’d be better of going door to door or phone banking and trying to motivating like minded voters to get to the polls.
