"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.

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
