Voter rolls: We see dead people. Does the DOJ?
Photoshop: Conservative Arts
America’s voter rolls are a mess. But you can’t count on the Department of Social Justice and corruptocrat Attorney General Eric Holder to clean them up. It’s another job the feds won’t do. Time for ordinary citizens to step up to the plate. Thanks to a provision in federal law, you can pick up the slack.
Former DOJ attorney/whistleblower J. Christian Adams fills you in at Pajamas Media:
In November 2009, political appointee Julie Fernandes told the entire assembled DOJ Voting Section that the Obama administration would not enforce the list maintenance provisions of Section 8. Section 8 “doesn’t have anything to do with increasing minority turnout,” Fernandes said. “We don’t have any interest in enforcing that part of the law.” End of story.
At the same time, Fernandes stressed that the DOJ would vigorously enforce the welfare agency registration provisions of Section 7.
She made these lawless instructions in front of me and dozens of other shocked Voting Section lawyers. The DOJ has never once denied that Fernandes gave these instructions, nor has the DOJ countermanded them.
This lawless policy couldn’t have a partisan motivation, could it?
Now, Americans are left to clean up the voter rolls on their own. Thankfully, Motor Voter provides a private right of action — that means private citizens can bring lawsuits against states and voter registrars who are allowing dead and ineligible voters to taint the voter rolls.
Americans are used to getting the job done themselves. Reliance on government tends to disappoint.
Using this private right of action, I have given sixteen states the legal notice required to alert them that they have violated Section 8 of Motor Voter. I am working with private citizens across the nation to help ensure that the elections in November aren’t plagued by ineligible voters…
…Every two years, states must report to the Election Assistance Commission (EAC) information about their voter rolls. The latest report is troubling. South Dakota, Texas, Mississippi, Kentucky and Indiana report in excess of a dozen counties with more registered voters than living people old enough to vote. Having more voters than living humans tells you something is wrong. In West Virginia, one county reported 113% of the voting age population was registered to vote. Baltimore, Maryland, reported 104% of voting age citizens on the rolls. Iowa and North Carolina also reported counties with more voters than living citizens of voting age.
All of these states received a notice letter.
Ponce de Leon wasted his time looking for the fountain of youth in Florida — he should have gone to Maryland, Arkansas, Massachusetts, Oregon, or Tennessee. These states report that they didn’t remove a single dead voter from 2006 to 2008. Some of the dead registered voters were resurrected on election day and cast ballots.
These states also received a notice letter.
Much more at Election Law Center.
Nicole Marrone, another former DOJ attorney, has related reporting at PJM on Philly’s dirty voter rolls.
Another swamp in need of do-it-yourself grass-roots draining.

More from Washington Times: Dead in Ohio, but still voting
And much more from Washington Times’ Quin Hilyer:
This developing scandal of mystery voters and dead voters resurrects the story about the Justice Department’s own website showing more substantial efforts to help felons reacquire voting privileges – even though the department has no statutory authority to do so – than to help ensure the opportunity for military personnel overseas to have their votes cast and counted on time.
From top to bottom, the Justice Department appears to be rigging voting-law enforcement in favor of interest groups usually seen to favor Democratic candidates. If so, the department is aiding and abetting vote fraud. Either way, this a major scandal that shouldn’t be buried.

My grandfather, who passed away decades ago, still gets jury duty notices. I suspect he is voting democrat too. I’m ready to do my part, with the spreads showing generic ballots with anti-democrat sentiment so high, we should put our collective foot down, NO MORE CHEATING. The stakes are too high, you listening Poser Senator Franken?
Klingons, Romulans, Mexicans, dead Americans, it’s all the same to Democrats/Marxists. Game the system and do whatever it takes to win. They don’t need no stinkin’ Constitution…
Our government and certainly our “justice” system is broken down into a state of permanent disfunction. We need a new Constitutional Convention, sans Marxian Socialists. We need to clean the slate.
The Department of Justice has become the Ministry of Love. Let’s pray for a GOP majority so that Rep. Issa can get a shot at Mr. Holder.
Come November, the dead WILL vote again.
Wonder how many of them are still receiving Social Security checks, Madicare services and pension checks?
And is this what the Jewish prophets meant by “in the end times, the dead will be resurrected”?!?!?
Oh, I don’t doubt that. You should check every Maryland town…
Hmmm….. I wonder if my parents are still voting in Memphis. Nah, probably not. They were Republicans.
And Democrats get the dead vote. They could also get the Undead/Vampire vote. Vampires suck the life out of people, hate Christianity and skulk around in darkness. They’re the perfect special interest group for the left.
To remove someone, you have to provide a death certificate at the county clerks office where they are registered.
I did that in the months that followed my husband’s death because I got a call from the DNC and the dumb a$$ didn’t seem to understand that:
1. T was a registered Republican.
2. He would come out of his grave a bi0tch slap me for giving them one red f-ing cent.
3. His sister is a RABID Demoncrat and would likely vote for T…the wrong way.
If every one with dead relatives would take the time to un-enroll their loved ones, the rolls for the Demoncrats would prabably drop by at least 20%.
I’ll tell you what, if we had a R president and his/her doj was doing this type of stuff, can you even get your brain around what would be going on with the msm and the d’s? I feel the d’s are so desperate about the Nov. elections, they will try to do whatever they can to keep dc! The only thing I feel we can do is get every person we know to go vote, and the right way!

Nothing to see here, move along. I’m sure you’re a RAACCISST for questioning the DOJ and their motives.
Just one more reason to impeach Obama.
Of course they will. They happen to be the most dedicated voting bloc for the Dems.
The “union” still makes live calls for my Dad to get out and vote. They’ll pick him up for free now that he is retired. Union members are in his area to help… Except he passed away in June 2006. I’m afraid to tell the union. They might pimp me out to an adoptive union thug father who is poll happy.
Just being prepared. We wouldn’t want to disfranchise anyone.
The fact that the [supposed] anomaly was discovered through a compilation and analysis of summary statistics is, to me, the really disturbing part of this. A systematic and thorough count of EVERY voter and registration is what is required. Once the discrepancies are identified, the appropriate criminals should be rounded up and prosecuted as the law presently requires.

When I present my check at Walmart–or my credit card–I have to present my valid Texas Driver’s license also so the clerk can see if it’s really me.

Why would we cheapen the most important power we have in our lives–selecting our leaders and government–by not requiring the same at the polling place?
***
And why isn’t there a national real time on line voter verification system that flags duplicate voting? The credit card system takes about 10 seconds to verify account data.
***
Our ancestors paid for our right to vote in blood and treasure. And our own Department of (social!) “Justice” is throwing us under the bus by not enforcing voter intimidation laws. And our courts are “OK” with giving certain voters MULTIPLE VOTES if they live in certain districts. What happened to One Person, One vote?

I never expected to see this level of corruption in our government and political systems.

The answer to both is the Dems want neither so to make it easier for them to retain or secure political power. Cheating is easier than representing the best interests or desires of the actual voting public – which may not include Democrats in office. The Dems don’t want to take that chance.
We have the right to cast our votes in secret, but does that include the right to cast our vote openly? It seems it would be harder to falsify a vote if it was witnessed and counted publicly. Those who still wanted to vote annonymously could but those who wanted to be counted in the open should be allowed also.
“My name is SpeakEasy and I cast my vote for (anyone but Obama). Count it.
The best disinfectant is sunlight.
Purge the rolls of dead people….. then how would any Chicago-corruptocrat get elected? And how many congressmen would lose their districts if dead people were not counted?
Holder’s DOJ didn’t see any voter intimidation in Philly by the New Black Panthers, despite the billy club. They sure as Hades won’t hesitate to look the other way at dead Demoncrap voters.
I share your disgust. Let’s demand real change- lots of sunlight and accountability.
So, what do we the people do, when those tasked to support and defend us in the courtroom, are in fact supporting those (in positions of authority) who are trampling the Constitution for political expediency?
My gut instinct is to encourage the building of bullet-proof walls behind our federal courthouses for these traitors, but alas, that would make us no better than a Third World country that our current CIC is trying to “transform” us, and would truly thrust us into anarchy.
Courageous Americans need to collect direct evidence against these “Demons of Democracy” (AKA: Social Progressives) to use in their trials once we take back “our” house. Then, we need to identify and disbar members of the bench and replace them with judges who will rule based on the law, not on some social idealism, or agenda.
If we can take back the justice system, we can take back our country, and once again make justice blind.
Donks already know that the only way that Hope-a-Dope has a prayer for “re-election” in 2012 is if they drop all pretenses and cheat on the wholesale level nationally.
There’s no way that Holder’s “Justice” department is going to do anything to put the speed brakes on election fraud. Given that repeated invocations of “George Bush! GEORGE BUSH!!” are no longer effective, it’s the only card they have left to play.
Dead people are only part of the problem. I’m curious how many times D. Duck, W. E. Coyote or Heywood Jablome have voted.
The problem isn’t at the actual polls, as far as I can tell.
For instance, here in Ohio we have to present our Driver’s License as an ID in order to vote. That’s great, right? Sure.
But that only goes so far.
A utility bill works for an ID. Those, of course, are impossible to fake or to be used by someone other than the person named, right?
According to the office of Ohio Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner (D), 30 percent of voters in the November 2008 election cast their ballots early.
There’s very little difference between the dead voting, and the brain-dead voting. Both heavily favor Dems.
Hmm… some quick poking around, and even the in-person voting in Ohio allows for a utility bill as an ID.
Wonderful.
Even better than a utility bill, any official mailing from a government university will work:
“A copy of a current utility bill (including cell phone bill), bank statement, paycheck, government check, or other government document that shows the voter’s name and current address (including from a public college or university).”
But I think this is how the previous voter registration fraud in Ohio was worked.
Good grief.
Every link in the chain needs to be strong!
Voting and registration should require government-issued photo ID.
Said government-issued ID should require proof of Citizenship.
Voting by mail should only be allowed for a limited set of circumstances: Military duty, illness/disability, etc.
The integrity of our elections is CRUCIAL!
Americans need to start doing their homework. The amount of corruption in Washington and in local governmental bodies is staggering. Voter fraud is but one aspect of the kind of criminal conduct by our so-called elected officials. Every state seems to have had corruption issues…I hope we can keep the Republic and I appreciate the work J. Christian Adams is doing.
Hey, you can be President with a utility bill.
The lack of updated, and currently accurate voter rolls is only a symptom of the problem. Allowing tax-exempt orgainizations like ACORN work at the behest of any politican or political entity is another.
Stop treating the contradictions, and side-effects, and attack the root of the problem: progressive socialism, and the meglomaniacal narcissism that drives it.
Cut off the head, and the body dies!
No, no! You must be a ‘Natural Born Citizen’!
And, apparently nowadays, that means you can’t be born by Cesaerean. It must be a “Natual” birth.
Likewise, you have a “right to bear arms”. However, you have no right to monkey arms or racoon arms. They MUST be bear arms!

Every fraudulent vote dilutes a valid vote. A diluted vote is a civil rights issue. That doesn’t mean that my vote is better than the homeless person the Dims bussed to the poll, as long as he/she is a citizen. And states should assist disenfranchised citizens to obtain their voting rights. But a utility bill as proof of legitimate voter status? Dead folks on voter rolls? That enables fraud and fraud dilutes my vote.
Ah yes, the Toon vote. Also leans heavily Dem. Although on occasion have been known to write in themselves as independents.

Well, it will be shortly after Halloween; seems appropriate from that point of view.
People also need to take responsibility for “un-registering” their deceased family members; that’s part of the reason this kind of thing can happen.
Ooh! I’ve got to start working on my costume: an Obamabot.
Birkenstocks, glazed eyes, wooden walk with arms outstretched, chanting “Hope and Change, Hope and Change…”.
Yeech! I get chills just thinking about it!

Ever see “From Hell”, the Johnny Depp movie? There’s a shot in there of a woman with a shaved head and a nasty-looking circular scar right on the front of her forehead. Not sure if it’s supposed to be from a lobotomy or some other arcane “treatment” that was once used on people who had been diagnosed with mental illnesses.
Little Ma: They have likely changed parties now that they are dead and are voting DemonRAT behind your back!
Ok, exactly how do we, as citizens, make sure the voter rolls are cleaned up? There needs to be clear instructions sent out to people with time to do this. I imagine more than a few Tea Party members would be willing to take on the project. How do we know our state or local clerks are keeping the rolls clean?
First, they’re government bureaucrats.
Second, they may be SEIU members.
Feel any better? I don’t know what the answer is. It’s critically important, though.
Agreed Ron, I would volunteer for that. You gonna start it up?
This is no longer a secret you know….pretty much EVERYONE knows. And NOBODY in government gives a damn. …..Are the republicans afraid of offending the democrats by asking that election laws be followed?…We The People may rally and vote for freedom, but they can rally the dead and cancel our vote
The only thing that’s “transparent” about Democrats is their bare naked hunger for power, and blatant resistance to do the most sensible things, such as purging the voter rolls of the dead, or presenting Obama’s birth certificate (to prove once and for all that he was born in Hawaii, and not Kenya).
If there were a true independent press in America, the Democrat party would be considered in the same category of association as the Mafia or Yakuza. As things are with the MSM, the DNC is the most respected organization on the face of the earth.
