More than 3 Million Registered Voters are Dead, 12 Million More Ineligible, Analysis Finds
Regardless of how lively an election season might be, a new study shows that more 3.3 million voters on current registration rolls across the country are dead.
Another 12.9 million remain on voter registration lists in an area where they no longer live.
Not only does this raise concerns about potential voter fraud, but from the interest of campaign consultants, ineligible or expired voters could lead to a waste of resources, said John Aristotle Phillips, CEO of Aristotle.
“Some states have bigger problems than others,” Phillips said. “With deadwood exceeding one in seven votes in some counties, candidates might as well spend a day a week campaigning in the cemetery.”

It only goes to show that Obama didn't win in a landslide...
This is an outrageous item, for sure. But consider that of the 300 million Americans, about 260 million are eligible to vote (ie age 18+).
Of those, about 168 million are actually registered to vote. And of that group, about 75 percent of them voted in the Obama-McCain election — which was a much higher-than-usual turnout because of BHO.
Now break it down into smaller numbers. Imagine 300 people instead of 300,000,000. Then you're saying in a group of 300 people, 26 are of voting age. Of those, 16 are actually registered to vote, and among them only 13 people actually voted.
Taking the deceased/ineligible into account, and you're still only dealing with about 15 out of 300 -- or congruently, 1.5 out of 30. Is that enough to change the outcome of an election? You tell me.
Thank you acorn...yes the nuts!
