Houston's Dead Rise to Vote
The dead having been rising to vote in Houston:
[There are m]ore than 4,000 people whose names are listed both on Harris County's voter rolls and also in a federal database of death records, a Texas Watchdog analysis has found.
And dozens of those people […] have apparently cast ballots from beyond the grave, records since 2004 show. One expert says the number of deceased names used to cast ballots may be higher than what Texas Watchdog's analysis found.
Instances of dead voters' names being used to cast ballots were most frequent in three elections, the November 2004 general election, the November 2006 general election and the March 2008 Democratic primary, the analysis found.
Given Obama's longstanding ties to the vote fraud outfit ACORN, dead voters are likely to have more influence than ever next month.
The findings come as the group ACORN, the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, has faced scrutiny in multiple states for allegedly improper voter registrations — including players for the Dallas Cowboys, not in the Lone Star State, but in Nevada. The group's Nevada offices were raided by state officials earlier this week.
The 4,000 corpses voting in greater Houston represent almost four times W's margin in Florida in 2000, which saved the country from an Al Gore Administration. With Obama's ACORN friends busy cheating across the country, McCain will have to win by a substantial margin to win at all.

Off topic, but no new open thread. My state (CT) Supreme Court voted (4-3) to legalize gay marriage. The lesson (other than proscribing the judiciary)? Don't think that civil unions are any kind of firewall.

How much does it take before we just have people show some ID to vote? You have to show ID to buy beer, use your charge card, write a check, pick up your kid from daycare...What's the big deal about showing ID to vote?

I suppose, of course, that the RNC could contest each and every one of the counts in states where ACORN had a hand in registering cartoon characters and dead people. The Dems sure as hell wouldn't have any room to bitch about it, considering their shameless attempts to steal the 2000 election. Doubt the GOP has the minerals to do it, though.

I am afraid that Voter ID is a red herring for the current elections - although I can hope for a unique ID that is computer read and connected to the human body.
The voter fraud with which I am most familiar requires only cooperative poll workers and consists of people entering late in the day (in line at closing time) and voting for people who have not voted yet. Of course, if you were representing a dead person, it could be any time during the day. Check sometime where you have 97-100 percent turnout in a precinct.
Absentee ballots are a whole other method. Several years ago, I saw on the news where a church filled out their absentee ballots and put them in the offering plates to be mailed in. It was presented as something that more churches should do.
