Conn. officials still checking for 'dead voters'
Posted by ConnPolitics.tv Editor on October 6th, 2008
Hartford (AP) – Connecticut Secretary of the State Susan Bysiewicz says a review of state voter lists for names of dead people won’t be finished by the November 4 election.
The review has been going on for six months, ever since University of Connecticut journalism students found that about 8,500 dead people were registered to vote.
Officials have found no evidence of election fraud. Bysiewicz says 5,300 names were removed from voter lists after deaths were confirmed, another 1,300 are under review and are expected to be removed soon.
The rest of the errors were corrected.
Bysiewicz says she wants to correct the problems as quickly as possible, but doesn’t want to be overzealous and possibly disenfranchise some people.

OF course -this is exactly why we need a NATIONAL ID card, but nope the dems know that would mean certain death for them-it would stop the fraud if everyone who voted needed to present there card. No more mail in ballots either-make the people present themselves and their ballot to a certified town/government official along with ID.

"why we need a NATIONAL ID card"
We have one. It's called a Social Security Card.

i agree w jockey....
hey Stalin... a SS card is not valid and they can get printed by the thousands.. no photo or fingerprint...
you can get an official ID even without having a driver license at MV or else use a Passport....

If the state went after the BRAIN DEAD we could seriously reduce the number of voters.
Qualifications
1. Anyone who votes for Dodd after this banking mess
2. Anyone who voted for DeStephano for governor
3. Anyone who thinks Rell is a real Republican
4. Anyone who thought Gerald ford was a "Wild & Crazy Guy"

Well you know what the dems motto is...vote early and vote often!
What a joke this whole country is becoming.
Fred, if I might add to your list:
6. Anyone who is receiving a federal handout-ie welfare
7. Anyone who is not/has not contributed to society in a meaningful manner-this does not mean the homeless guy who's keeping the park bench warm all day long.

All these clueless looneys are liberal and totally braindead and shouldnt be allowed to vote
Also anyone who supported Ned Lamont in 2006 these clueless anti war nuts should have their voting rights taken away for life as should all of the above.

Hey anonymous, with that last comment you fit into categories 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12. Since this qualifies you as brain dead your right to vote has been revoked! You McApologists must be so proud of John McBush and his trusty sidekick Sarah McDumDum.
