At least 81 dead people have been voting in North Carolina | The Daily Caller#!
At least 81 dead people have been voting in North Carolina over the last ten years, according to state election officials.
If that's the way the Daily Caller put things they, as usual, are lying. On page 36 of the report, this is what it says:
10-year Death Audit
Identified 50,000+ new death records from DHHS that had not previously been provided to SBOE.
Audit identified 13,416 deceased voters on voter rolls in October 2013. These votes were subsequently removed.
Data: 81 deceased voters have voter history later than the date of their death.
81 deceased voters have voter history later than date of their death = over the course of 10 years, 81 voters were found to have voter history later than date of their death. It does not mean that 81 people were using the registrations of dead people for 10 years as The Daily Caller mendaciously asserts.
{quoting the daily caller}The North Carolina State Board of Elections indicated that voter fraud may be at play
The word fraud does not appear in 58 pages of that report.
{quoting the daily caller}We have fraud and error vulnerabilities in our election system, North Carolina state Rep. David Lewis said Monday after the reports release.
This is from a press release sent out by Rep. Lewis.

Today we learned that VIVA, the Voter ID law passed last year in the North Carolina General Assembly, found a number of devastating vulnerabilities in our current election system. The State Board of Elections gave a report today with the following information:
VIVA nor Voter ID had anything to do with the lists and the discoveries therein.
As Ive stated all along, I am committed to preserving the integrity of North Carolina elections and asking folks to present photo identification at the polls is just the first step in this process.
How would having Voter ID prevent people from voting in two different states? Trying to get every state to participate in the Interstate Crosscheck program would be a lot more effective.
{quoting the Daily Caller}Liberal opponents of voter ID laws say voter fraud is rare, and therefore it hurts lower income and minority voters by requiring them to have identification.
But the State Board of Elections reported finding other instances of potential fraud: they found 765 instances of voters in North Carolina who also voted in another state in the 2012 general election.
Actually there are non-liberals who either are opposed to it or find it a solution to a problem that isn't as big as alarmists make it out to be. Further, how would Voter ID prevent people from voting in two different states?

from here:
"They verified there was voter fraud," said Susan Myrick, with the conservative think tank NC Civitas.
Myrick has been warning about voter fraud for years, and she said the numbers just out show it's happening, and it's happening a lot.
--------------
For everything the new law does, including a number of restrictions on voting access, it's not clear that it would stop this interstate fraud. It's a point critics of the law were quick to make, and even some supporters acknowledged.
"The Voter ID bill may not have prevented that," said Myrick.
Based on the frequency of actual reported vote fraud and the fact that liberals consistently deny that it's a problem and extremely rare, one could logically conclude that the majority of vote fraud is committed by democrats who recognize that they've been the beneficiaries.
