text: I wonder how many of the six dead voters are actually dead. I've had family members killed off on paper by the Social Security Administration. What happens is that when someone dies, their social security number is entered into a database as being deceased. However, there is no procedure in place to double-check the accuracy of the entry. I guess they figure that if someone is still alive and they are listed as dead they will come forward and get it corrected at some point. (I'm not sure how they deal with the fact that for each person wrongly listed as dead there is someone who is indeed dead but is still on the books as living.)
