NBC Informs Viewers 1.8 Million Dead People are Still Registered to Vote

By Brad Wilmouth | February 16, 2012 | 03:44

A  A

Tuesday's NBC Nightly News informed viewers of the statistic that 1.8 million of the deceased are still registered to vote, as anchor Brian Williams read an item recounting the results of a study by the Pew Research Center.

But the NBC anchor also downplayed the danger of voter fraud as he asserted that "the problems here are not due to fraud," but instead emanate from the lack of the use of technology.

Williams recounted:

And some disturbing news about the state of this nation's voting system in the presidential election year upcoming. The Pew Research Center says one in eight voter registrations in this nation is inaccurate, a quarter of eligible voters are not registered at all, 1.8 million dead people in this country are indeed still registered to vote.

Study says the problems here are not due to fraud, but they stem from disorganized and antiquated systems that could use some help from technology.

First - I wonder how many of them will be voting?
Second - I wonder how many of them will be voting multiple times?
Third - They will all vote "D"
Fourth - Of course the solution is a federal run program office managed by Bill Ayers, Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton.

The advantage of being a democrat is that you can vote after you're dead.

Just another victim-class voting for the dem's: the vertically challenged.

You speak troof, bubba...............and also, since girlyman Bri-Bri (the handsomest man to NEVER make a Hollywood movie) informed us that it isn't 'fraud', that pretty much clears the air and verifies the fact that it will continue to happen.

Oh shut up, NBC

Submitted by DumbCanuck on Thu, 02/16/2012 - 8:35am.

You can't be taken seriously anymore, as if you ever were.

(ok this is getting a little monotonous. I'm still waiting to see reports on CBS, ABC, NPR, PBS, the LA Times, the Boston Globe... I guess I could apply this template to just about any liberal source... Maybe I'm just in a particularly foul mood this morning. I'll quit it now, before I get into any real trouble.)

And they dont even discuss "sanctuary" cities......

Submitted by merly1 on Thu, 02/16/2012 - 1:24pm.

where police and city employees cant check on citizenship,ie finding illegal immigrants.
You think these cities do a good job at the polling place preventing the lawbreaking
illegal immigrants from voting illegally for candidates pushing entitlements/citizenship paths?
The beauty of this method is if one does NOT look for illegals voting, the someone can claim
there is no evidence of illegals voting.
America is a country in decline, as it always claims 12 million illegals live among us, but never
tries to deport them or try to ensure only legal citizens are voting.

The zombie vote

Look for that demographic to show up in the endless political polls.

I don't expect they're interested in Social Security or Medicare.

Actually, Gal, I'd be willing to bet good money (if there is such a thing anymore) that there are quite a few people collecting the Social Security checks of these dead people..........and maybe even figuring out a way to use the Medicare too.
