COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — South Carolina’s attorney general is asking the U.S. Justice Department for an investigation into potential voter fraud.

Attorney General Alan Wilson has sent details of an analysis by the Department of Motor Vehicles to U.S. Attorney Bill Nettles.

In a letter dated Thursday, Wilson says the analysis found 953 ballots cast by voters listed as dead. In more than 70 percent of those cases, ballots were cast between two months and 76 months after the people died.

The letter doesn’t say which election the ballots were cast in, or whether multiple elections were involved.

The analysis came out of research for the state’s new voter identification law. The U.S. Justice Department denied clearance of that law.

Wilson has also asked the State Law Enforcement Division to investigate.

Why can’t the agency that issues Death Certificates (which has an address of the deceased) simultaneously notify the County Registrar of Voters EVERYWHERE? This simply should not be happening.

Have you considered how many John Smiths, Frank Jones, and Bob Whites there are?

It would be easy to say : “John Smith died in 2010 but someone NAMED John Smith voted six months later, therefore, VOTER FRAUD !”

Hey guys, the German cities name is Cologne like a puferme . As for the cigarette machines they now have a card scanner that verifies age before selling. Your comments on the airport security were very funny, and some true.
