Politics in Pontiac, Michigan - the dead are voting

A curious story -- from the New York Daily News:
Mummified Michigan woman seemingly voted in the afterlife, records show
The mummified remains of a Michigan woman whose death went unnoticed for six years appear to have turned up last week � along with a vote she supposedly cast from beyond the grave.

A contractor found the body in question in a garage last Wednesday after the $54,000 in Pia Farrenkopf's bank account dried up and her house in Pontiac, outside Detroit, went into foreclosure, according to local media.

Authorities say they think the remains belong to Farrenkopf, whom they believe died in 2008. But the mystery turned even murkier Monday.

Voting records show that Farrenkopf voted in Michigan's November 2010 gubernatorial election, the Detroit Free Press reported.
A bit more:
Farrenkopf, who would be 49, registered to vote in 2006 but did not vote until 2010, and that the vote may have been an administrative error, they revealed. Otherwise, the ghastly discovery may have uncovered something politically nefarious.
Politically nefarious? Tip of the iceberg. The 2012 election was rife with examples of voter fraud. Posted by DaveH at March 13, 2014 11:51 AM
