Two days ago, one of the kindest men I have ever known died from esophageal cancer. A week ago, the doctors gave him three to six months to live. A year if he took an aggressive type of chemo. He was my age.
A week ago, my ex-grandmother-in-law died. She was 95.
In July, my mother died, aged 73.
In June, a co-worker dropped dead of a heart attack while doing yard work.
All four of these family and friends were registered voters. They are spread out over three states.
I doubt any of them have been removed from the registered voter rolls in their districts yet.
But none of them will be voting.
Millions of people die each year, folks. And they are not all concentrated into one electoral area.
It does not automatically follow someone is voting in their names just because they have not yet been removed from the registered voter list.
It would take a massive coordinated effort across the entire country for all the dead registered voters to swing a national election. And it would have to go completely undetected.
There is no way to know ahead of time the race will come down to a few hanging chads in Florida. You would have to cover your bases across the whole country.
This is, for all intents and purposes, a statistical impossibility.
