1.8 million dead people registered to vote

NPR Reports:

A new report by the Pew Center on the States finds that more than 1.8 million dead people are currently registered to vote.

And 24 million registrations are either invalid or inaccurate.

There's little evidence that this has led to widespread voter fraud [ ??? ], but it has raised concerns that the system is vulnerable....

 

For some perspective, consider the popular vote in 2008: Obama received 69.4 million votes to McCain's 59.9 million -- a difference of "only" 9.5 million.

In the last election in my home town of Chicago before being transferred out of state in 1972,I went to the polling place early, before going to work, so as to avoid the rush. Despite this, I was surprised to see that my father had already voted. My surprise was not that he had voted so early, but that he had voted at all. My father died in 1963. As we used to say in Chicago, vote early, and vote often. Seems nothing has changed since I left.
