Maybe the US MSM will finally come around to framing it this way in the next couple of days...

181,000 voters in U.S. elections were dead

More than 181,000 dead people were listed on the rolls in swing states for the Nov. 2 U.S. presidential election, the Chicago Tribune reported Sunday.

The Tribune reviewed voter data from New Mexico, Florida, Iowa, Ohio, Michigan and Minnesota. The newspaper found numerous errors in the integrity of voter rolls.

In addition to the registered deceased, thousands of voters were registered to vote in two locations, which could have allowed them to cast more than one ballot. More than 90,000 other voters in Ohio cast ballots without a valid presidential choice. Either they decided not to choose a candidate, the machine failed to register their choice, or they mistakenly voted for more than one candidate.

The FBI was investigating allegations that Republicans in Florida mounted a large-scale campaign to tamper with ballots.

1. Not voters

It says people on the rolls. It does not seem to indicate that they voted, which would be a real problem.

So.... when grandma died did you notify the Board of Elections and have her removed from the rolls? I didn't either. Nor does anyone else.

2. Exactly. Unless they find these people "voted," it's immaterail (NT)

3. The point is...

...that the election rolls were not accurate to people actually in the county. The double registration is a bigger concern. These facts are indicitive of issues that need examination. This needs to come out, and anything that is true to get the ball rolling is good.
