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.
The Detroit Free Press: New mystery in Pontiac: How could mummified body vote in 2010?
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.
