Baltimore V Chicago

for the coveted "bring out your dead" vote.

yes people always joke about getting the dirt tossed on you in chicago so you could keep voting, but Baltimore is now a valid place to go die if you want your civic rights to continue after you pass from the great beyond

The New York Times reported in its May 18 business section that Johns Hopkins University computer-science students crunching databases on deaths and voter registrations in Baltimore City had turned up “1,500 dead people listed as active registered voters. Fifty of those dead people somehow voted in the last election.”

Somehow voted. Meaning someone voted, but they weren’t the people the Hopkins students identified—because they were dead. There is no accepted term for this phenomenon, though a word like “ghost,” “cemetery,” “graveyard,” or “phantom” usually winds up in front of the word “voting,” suggesting impostors standing in for the dead to cast ballots. But the problem when looking into alleged cases of dead people voting—or the beauty of it, if you’re a perpetrator—is that while the superficial circumstances suggest fraud, proving it is tough. Of all the many colorful stories of rigged elections, few rise above the level of just that: stories.

Seven people on the Hopkins list were quickly found to be among the living. Although Social Security information recorded them as deceased, records of local court proceedings show otherwise—or, in one instance, a wife explained over the phone that “my husband is still very much alive.” In 17 other cases, the only confirmation that the person died, and when, came from Social Security—and its death information is unreliable, as several cases already show. Another dozen people have death certificates on file at the Maryland Archives in Annapolis, but, due to restricted hours for public searches, City Paper was unable to view them to confirm dates of death before publication.

Ultimately, City Paper’s research concentrated on what was left of the Hopkins list: 26 currently registered voters whose deaths, and dates of death, were confirmed through additional sources: medical-examiner records, obituaries, legal records of wills and estates, or surviving family members. Each of the 26 is recorded as having voted since death at least once, in elections dating back to 1991. Each remains on the active voter registration list for Baltimore City, even though many of them died in the 1980s.

because as we know the Dead tend to vote democrat in large numbers

read the whole thing and see how the dead can dance, and vote. And see how a Democrat leaning newspaper decides it wants to justify the blatant corruption by saying "well you can't prove they're dead"
