At least two dead voters showed up to vote at least once in a Maryland general election between 2004 and 2008, according to a voter registration watchdog group that has reviewed thousands of voter records this year, 1% of the rolls in the largest counties.
The group – Election Integrity Maryland (EIM) – filed a complaint with the State Board of Elections Aug. 30. The group said it found several potential dead voters, voters who registered after they had died and a living Maryland resident who has been voting twice in elections for years.
According to their research, voter registration numbers for Montgomery County resident Rufus Harris of Silver Spring, who died in 2002, was used to cast an absentee ballot in the 2008 general election. Prince George’s County resident George T. Zell of Hyattsville, who died in July 2004, cast a vote in the 2004 general election. Records also indicated that Harris became registered as a voter on Sept. 4, 2008, six years after his death.

that number sounds mighty low. i'm sure there were many more.
This is just a BS story put out by Republicans who don't like President Obama and hoping to claim some kind of fraud when he wins again in November.
Must be a lot of sugar in that Koolaid 7:17 (the second one...).
7:17. You are so correct and who got caught doing the vote fraud in Florida? Signing up non existant republicans
They have shrunk themselve down so badly being so exclusive of who they want in their club the numbers just don't work for them anymore. The climate of intolerance toward anyone who doesn't fit their narrow view of who is worthy.
who got caught doing the vote fraud in Florida?
Would that be Wendy Rosen who was running against Andy Harris?
7:17
It is low so far. They have only gone through 1% of the registered voters.
Democrats soon forget if you live in glass houses...or for the grace of god go I ..THE POINT IS A VALID ID may solve any semblemnce of fraud for either party...
I have signed up to help in this search. I'm sure it will take 4 more years, but at 58, I am willing to do the work. Hell, I'm losing my house, work, there;s nothing on the bid boards; what's a person have left to do? I just hope they can pay me enough to keep up with the mortgage and bills!
7:17 You must be someone or Geoff Smoot, who writes in the Daily Times, and is so Democratic, you can't see what Obama is doing to America. If this indeed Geoff, you were an educator of our children and should be ashamed of yourself. Who are you 7:17. If you can not post your name and phone number like Joe does, you are a coward. My name is John Riggin, and I love America and will protect my Country.
It's not right allowing dead people to vote. It's creepy.
also dirty
