This Democrat Introduces Legislation To Allow Dead People To Vote

02.05.2015 | News | Matt Schuck |

Republicans have been arguing that Democrats don’t want tough voter ID laws because that would hinder their ability to steal elections with fraudulent votes. But now, Democrats in Indiana are LITERALLY sponsoring a bill that would allow a dead person to vote.

The worst part is, they’re completely candid about it!

A provision in a bill, by local Indiana lawmakers, will allow someone who casts an absentee ballot but dies before the election to have their vote counted in Indiana.

The bill was sponsored by Rep. Matt Pierce of Bloomington, a Democrat, who told his colleagues about how disappointed he was when former Rep. Frank McCloskey’s absentee vote that he cast while fighting cancer didn’t count because he died before Election Day in 2004.

Pierce went on to add that only a few county clerks actively check for deaths of absentee voters.

The committee will continue to review this provision before a final vote will happen.
