Dead people voting?

I can't believe that would happen, would you?

According to KPRC, Channel 2 in Houston, there have been 4,000 dead people registered and voting in Harris County. Statewide, there has been "Approximately 23,576 may have been deceased". http://www.click2houston.com/investigates/17671375/detail.html

The March 2008 Primary was no exception. Voting records show Alexis' mom, Gloria Guidry, cast her ballot in person near her South Houston home."It was just very shocking, a little unsettling," said Alexis Guidry.It's unsettling because Gloria Guidry died of cancer 10 months before the March Primary.

Dead people voting in Texas is nothing new, it happens all the time and has been going on for a long time. It's really no different than Cook County Illinois, where the Daley political machine has utilized the tactic for decades.

It's way past time to mandate picture IDs in the polling places, to help curb the practice of dead people and felons voting.
