| Dead Voters May Sway Election |
| 2004-11-01 |
| No, not that kind. This is another kind of dead voter, heh. GHOST VOTERS: An untold number of absentee and early ballots cast before Election Day by people who later die will be counted. States differ on whether they count such votes and what they do to weed them out. GETTING WORSE: New in-person early voting used by millions in at least 30 states makes it harder to retrieve ballots after a voter's death. SO WHAT? An average of 455 voting-age people die in Florida every day — nearly as many as the 537 who decided the presidential election in Florida in 2000. RATTLING CHAINS: Thousands of lawyers from both parties could find the phenomenon of dead voters more than just an Election Day curiosity and challenge the ballots. |

| #1 Florida is God's grazing ground. People tend to die more frequently. They mysteriously get resurrected to vote. Or if you believe in reincarnation, they get reincarnated to vote in Ohio. The Clinton appointed judges have great powers--they can raise the dead and make it legal. |
