The Dead Are Voting in New York

Poughkeepsie. The Poughkeepsie Journal, one of the leading newspapers of the Hudson Valley, is reporting that its investigation of New York States' registered voters found that over 77,000 deceased persons are still on voter registries. Of these, 2,600 have cast ballots!

That's not all. Most of these votes from the dead came from Manhattan and the surrounding area of NYC. Democrats outnumbered Republicans among the dead voters 4-to-1.

This is not the first time such shenanigans have surfaced. Going all the way back to the 1960 Presidential election between Richard Nixon and John F. Kennedy, it was discovered that fraudulent votes cast in Illinois, particularly in the area around Chicago where the political machine of Mayor Daley held sway, could have effected the outcome of the Presidential race. In that election it was discovered that ballots were cast by persons who were confirmed dead.

The fact that this was one of the closest elections in history means that a few thousand fraudulent votes scattered about could have tipped the election one way or the other. In this case it was tipped in favor of Kennedy.

Despite all the rhetoric about Republicans stealing elections in Florida and Ohio, the Democrats have a long history of sleaze when it comes to voter fraud. Reports of persons using the names of dead persons to vote more than once, the practice of registering convicted felons and illegal aliens, and other such subversive activity all point to dirty hands on the part of those who wish to cast the blame upon Republicans.

New York is the latest example.

How many fraudulent ballots will be cast in New York City tomorrow?

This in addition to the stolen smart cards in Memphis, home to the campaign of Harold Ford, Jr., should make for a very interesting lesson in the attempt to steal an election.
