Michigan Votes ... From Beyond the Grave
The Sunday Detroit News reported that their review of voter and registration files, criminal and death records shows that Detroit's election records are so plagued with mistakes and inconsistencies -- including voter registry rolls packed with as many as 20,000 dead people and roughly 100,000 wrong addresses -- that the overall integrity of Detroit elections is in question. Across Michigan, 132 people were listed as having voted in November's local elections although they had recently died. Holland, with just 30,000 people had 11 deceased voters (a higher percentage than Detroit).
