"900 dead voters voted" claim in SC false

[Riot]

Apparently, dead men aren't actually voting.

The South Carolina Election Commission on Wednesday disputed claims that more than 900 dead voters cast ballots during the 2010 election.

... snip ...

Andino said the Election Commission received the names of six suspected dead voters in Abbeville County and confirmed that, in fact, none of the voters had cast a post-mortem ballot.

* One of the voters cast an absentee ballot before dying
* One voter, Samuel Ferguson Jr., was mistakenly marked as his deceased father, Samuel Ferguson III
* Two of the voters were the result of stray marks on the voter registration list
* Two of the voters were the result of poll managers incorrectly marking the the name of the dead voter instead of the name above it or below it on the list

Riot omitted this part in her quote:

"Election Commission Director Marci Andino testified before the House Election Laws Subcommittee that her staff had confirmed a small sample of the dead voter claims to be false."

Because of the claims, the election commission also investigated whether any of the 37,000 deceased voters listed in the DMVs database had requested absentee ballots for the 2012 South Carolina Primary.

They found that 10 of those voters had requested ballots, but confirmed that none of the voters in question were actually dead.

So I guess now we are down to 884 possible dead voters voting. If the DMV database doesn't have them falsely listed as dead. We'll see.

You selectively quoted the parts that supported whatever position that you happened to be taking at the moment. Your intent was to mislead, and you were caught red-handed.

LOL - nice try. Not one dead voter has been found to have voted in South Carolina. Don't lie. Talk about "misleading"!

Come back when you find verification of one dead person having a vote cast in their name in this investigation.

The legal absentee ballot caster that died after he submitted it doesn't count.

You were misleading about the content of the article. It said the claim was disputed and that a small sample was shown to be false. It never said the entire claim had been declared false.
