Why Democrats Oppose Voter ID Laws
A new statewide database of registered voters contains as many as 77,000 dead people on its rolls, and as many as 2,600 of them have cast votes from the grave, according to a Poughkeepsie Journal computer-assisted analysis. . . .
Among the Journal’s findings:
- There were dead people on the voter rolls in all of New York’s 62 counties and people in as many as 45 counties who had votes recorded after they had died.
- One Bronx address was listed as the home for as many as 191 registered voters who had died. The address is 5901 Palisade Ave., in Riverdale, site of the Hebrew Home for the Aged.
- Democrats who cast votes after they died outnumbered Republicans by more than 4 to 1. The reason: Most of them came from Democrat-dominated New York City, where the higher population produced more matches.
Meanwhile, across the nation, the left-wing voter registration group ACORN, along with Democrats, continues to oppose voter ID laws even as tens of thousands of illegal ACORN voter registrations continue to come to light.
As I’ve said before, if this were a right-wing voter registration group and Republicans were opposing voter ID laws it would be the story of the election season. As it is, this is hardly getting any coverage at all.
Pathetic.
