2012-01-25 (SEC Executive Director Testifies On Dead Voters Claim)
With the presidential primary looming on January 21, the SEC was compelled to find out if any of the 37,000 voters identified by DMV as deceased had requested absentee ballots for the primary. This research found 10 voters in 8 different counties applied for absentee ballots. The SEC immediately asked local election officials to provide us with copies of the voter registration and absentee applications signed by these voters. In every case, the signatures on these forms were matched, and each of these ten voters were confirmed to be alive. Charges of voter fraud are serious, Andino said. If even one fraudulent vote has been cast, that is one too many; and we hope that the Attorney General and SLED will investigate any instances of voter fraud and prosecute the offenders to the fullest extent allowed by law. We stand ready to assist in those efforts. ###
