Three Million Registered Voters are Pining for the Fjords
From
CNS News:
More than 3 Million Registered Voters are Dead, 12 Million More Ineligible, Analysis Finds
Regardless of how lively an election season might be, a new study shows that more 3.3 million voters on current registration rolls across the country are dead.
Another 12.9 million remain on voter registration lists in an area where they no longer live.
The analysis was conducted by the Aristotle International Inc., a technology company specializing in political campaigns, developing software and databases for politicians.
In total that means about 8.9 percent of all registered voters fall under the category of "deadwood" voters on the rolls, the term for voters who should no longer be eligible to vote in a precinct.
And WA State is one of the biggies:
The analysis showed that Washington State had 27,267 dead voters who were still registered, just 0.7 percent of the total number of registered voters. Another 332,510 had moved out of the area they are registered to vote in, or 8.73 percent of the total registered voters.
Now how close was the Governors election?
129 votes in 2004 and
194,614 in 2008. Well within the 359,777 number of ex-voters...
