1.8 Million Dead People Listed as Active Voters, Says Pew Center on the States
Submitted by Kathleen Gee on Tue, 02/14/2012 - 12:28Now we know why Establishment candidates keep winning. They earn 100% of the Dead Vote. Apparently there's no Internet access in the Afterlife.
That, and the fact that over 70,000 people are registered to vote in THREE or more states, according to the study.
One in eight active registrations is invalid or inaccurate. At the same time, one in four people who are eligible to vote — at least 51 million potential voters — are not registered.
The report found that there are about 1.8 million dead people listed as active voters. Some 2.8 million people have active registrations in more than one state. And 12 million registrations have errors serious enough to make it unlikely that mailings based on them will reach voters. [...]
The flaws in the voter registration rolls have a disproportionately negative impact on mobile populations, including students and other young people, the poor and members of the military, the Pew report found.
