30,000 Dead Voters Identified In North Carolina
The non-partisan Voter Integrity Project announced on Friday that it has
identified at least 30,000 dead people listed on the North Carolina voter rolls,
according to an article published by the Charlotte News and Observer. Disturbing
news, when you realize that out of the over 4.2 million voters cast for
President of the United States in North Carolina in 2008, only 13,692 votes
separated the eventual winner of the state's 15 electoral votes, Barack Obama,
from Senator John McCain.
| Voter Integrity Project director, Jay DeLancy, presented the group's findings, which were ascertained by comparing death records, going back as far as 2002, from the state Department of Health to the voter rolls. |

DeLancy, who presented his findings to the North Carolina State Board of
Elections on Friday claims the actual numbers of dead voters on the rolls is
actually much higher as 55 percent of out-of-state deaths for North Carolina
residents occur in Virginia and South Carolina and those states do not allow the
release of death certificates for purposes of checking voter registration
accuracy. According to DeLancy: “Mainly, what we’re concerned about is the potential [for fraud]. Since there is no voter ID law in North Carolina, anybody can walk in and claim to be anyone else.” Moreover, according to the Observer: "The rolls of registered voters are updated every month when the state Department of Health and Human Services gives a list of all death certificates received that month to the state Board of Elections." Needless to say, the discrepancy is alarming. |

But the real question is.....did a number of these 300,000 actually vote? RHF
ReplyDeleteFirst of all it's 30,000 not 300,000 you must be a lib, the real question is why they are still on the voting rolls..........
DeleteNo, the real question is why The AG, Eric Holder, wants to keep voter ID to a bare minimum. The more votes from these 30,000 deceased, the more votes for Obama
ReplyDeleteThe question I would want to know is what percentage of the dead were democrats and what percentage were republicans. Then I would want to compare that percentage with the percentage of democratic voters and republican voters in NC. It is possible that NC just doesn't have a very good way to trim the dead from the rolls. If that is the case then the percentage of dead voters should reflect the percentage of actual voters. If it doesn't reflect this and for instance, there are 50% dem voters and 50% repub voters and the dead are 90% dems then we have a problem. otherswise it may simply be a bureaucratic snafu.
ReplyDeleteEvery state has people who died still on the rolls because no family member informed them of the death. I did so when my mother died. However, there are no substantial statistics to prove anyone is voting in their stead. Let's not push an issue beyond what it is. This does not relate a voting consequence.
ReplyDeleteNo matter what has taken place, a voter ID requirement solves all real, potential, or suspected problems. A DMV issued ID for those who don't already have one is a viable solution, and, in spite of those who cry "too costly", it is certainly within reach of all.
