As many as 2,812 dead people may have voted in Minnesota. Is it human error or fraud?
A conservative advocacy group says the problem is that the Minnesota Secretary of State neglects to purge the names of dead people from the voter rolls.
For example, Julie Webster died in 2006, but voter records show that she voted two years later on Nov. 4, 2008. Her husband Henry Webster said, “I’m here to tell you, there’s no malice on my end. (Election officials and I) had a two-way conversation that my wife had died and that she won’t be coming in. So I wrote deceased.”
An election worker, it appears, tallied the late Mrs. Webster as a voter who showed up and cast a ballot.
Deputy Secretary of State Jim Gelbmann says the problem should be blamed on mistakes, not fraud.
“I would venture—put my reputation on—the fact that there are very few, if any, people impersonating dead people,” he insisted. “You’re going to have human error. We’re doing our best to correct that human error.”
We vote for fraud. In fact, we voted for it five times.

Having lived through the democrat corruption in Washington in our 2004 governor election, I am more inclined to believe that about 4500 of the 2812 dead people voted for Franken. They have learned to stretch the power of the vote.
I remember it well, also, funny how they kept finding the necessary ballots - they love to accuse republicans, it makes them feel justifiably moral, when they do it time after time! They do that a lot - accuse other people of their own crimes - it's called projection.
How much would anyone like to bet that AT LEAST 2,800 "voted" for Al Franken?
