What to do when you're dead in Denver? Vote. Denver's Channel 7 news featured Election Reform Examiner.com in a recent expose on ballots mailed to dead voters here www.thedenverchannel.com/video/21504831/

Deadwood isn't just a Denver problem.Nationwide l0% of voter lists may be dead, moved or otherwise ineligible voters. Common Cause must be mad. They've wasted millions of taxpayer dollars suing to keep those folks on the voter lists, just in case one of them is resurrected or moves back into their precinct.

This imaginary disenfranchisement tale inspired the White House to direct Eric Holder to spend more money, throwing good money after bad so to speak. Holder's bogeyman is voting rights enforcement, which curiously exempts the Black Panthers in Philadelphia.

It is noteworthy that the Department of Justice sent observers to Philadelphia today. However, it is not clear if they are seeking to protect or prevent the Black Panthers from carrying on their poll watcher intimidation.

While it is clear maintaining accurate voter lists is a problem, Congress wants to cause more problems by mandating same day voter registration for all federal elections. Rep. Ellison touts Minnesota's long march style of vote counting, with it's uneven application of ballot judging standards, as an example other states should follow.

Minnesota's average 70% turnout is held up as an ideal. Next ranked choice voting, being tried in Minneapolis, will be forced on everyone. With no public dialog on the downside to these integrity destroying reforms, it is possible future elections, like phones, will be unrecognizable to today's voters.

It won't take terrorists to bomb us back to an Afghan style theocracy. We'll do it to ourselves with election reforms.

Dead voter will be bought back to life, and Anita Dunn will reassure us that this is the right thing to do.
