Of course, none of the articles actually mention that the State legislator proposing this is a Democrat
(Time) It’s difficult to vote if you’re dead. (Unless you live in Chicago. Or New York. Or Florida.) But an Indiana lawmaker is hoping to make election season a bit easier for the recently departed at least.
Indiana Rep. Matt Pierce proposed a bill taken up by the House Elections Committee Wednesday that would allow an absentee ballot from someone who dies before Election Day to be counted.
Democrat Matt Pierce was supposedly upset that former U.S. Rep. Frank McCloskey’s vote in 2004 (11 years later????) wasn’t counted, as McCloskey passed away from cancer prior to election day. Of course, there’s a wee bit of a problem with this scheme
(IndyStar) Indiana Election Division co-director Brad King says allowing such votes could violate a state constitutional requirement that a voter live in a precinct for 30 days before an election.
Seriously, is this a really big issue in Indiana, where people lose their vote by dying within 30 days of an election? Or, really, is this a serious issue for Democrats dying before elections? Of course, details matter, so it would be interesting to see how this bill is written. Does it block the checking of voter rolls against deaths, which would open the floodgates to lots of dead people voting?

Why not, you also don't need an ID to vote. Got to keep the Democrat voter fraud machine running, it's a tradition.
IMO it would be a difficult task to throw out an absentee ballot of someone who passed before election day. It would likely be a costly procedure to check if each absentee voter was living at the time their vote was counted. I think there have been many who have voted absentee and passed away. I see no reason for law makers to even waste time discussing this. FOX news didn't either
I've always suspected that democrats were complete IDIOTS but this certainly confirms my suspicions! Truly amazing.
Hmmm;multi dimensional voting rights.Sort of like recycling.
