Being a mummy does cut down on your social life, but it apparently doesn't stop you from casting a ballot.
The interesting story of a lady dead for 6 years, only now discovered in her garage after her auto-payments for her mortgage ran out. She had died in 2008 but somehow cast a ballot in the 2010 election in the Democrat-dominated and run city of Pontiac.
There are no records extant as to whether she voted for Imhotep or just the run-of-the-mill Democrat candidate for governor.

It's an interesting article and the whole story is a cautionary example of what can happen if you have your life set on automatic - it can take quite a while for people to realize you're no longer animate.
They need to check Chicago's records, too...
ReplyDeleteThere is NO SUCH THING as voting fraud! How dare you deny this woman her right to vote! /sarc
ReplyDeletePH: Yep.
ReplyDeletejuvat: Call it a very absentee ballot if you will....
