FlintTalk.com Forum Index > Political Talk Topic: Phoney voter registrations?

Author    Post   Dave Starr F L I N T O I D My wife & I got out new voter registrations in the mail today. The poll location was changed. Along with our cards, there was one for a man that has NEVER lived at our address! We've been here since 68, and checking the title abstract, a person with the last name on the card has never lived here. I called the Clerk's office, got voice mail of course, & left a message. I'm betting we never get a return call. _________________ I used to care, but I take a pill for that now. Pushing buttons sure can be fun. When a lion wants to go somewhere, he doesn’t worry about how many hyenas are in the way. Paddle faster, I hear banjos.

Except, the Genesee County server seems to be down today, can't get on the Circuit Court website either. Could also check death records at County Clerk's office when the server gets back online. Just because a person wasn't listed in the title history doesn't necessarily mean they never lived at that address (unless you know for fact because you're original owner). Clerk's office may be sending notices to everyone ever registered in those precincts. I'm a firm believer that someone in the clerk's office should check voter registrations against death records as they become available and update accordingly. You could write on the envelope "Addressee Not At This Address" and return to sender and let them handle accordingly. Should have been a Forwarding Service Requested or Address Correction Requested notation on the outside of the envelope from the clerk's office to start with.

Let's do breakfast again with your lovely wife...SOON... Shoot me an email or call.... I got a call from a lady at the Clerk's office. She said there are a lot of these. "The Acorn registration campaign resulted in a lot of fraudulent registrations". She said to write "does not reside here" on the card & give it back to your letter carrier to be returned to the Clerk's office. They will mark the name as "challenged" and it someone tries to vote with that name they will be required to prove residency at the listed address. Breakfast - Got a Dr. appointment tomorrow to get the results of all the tests; CAT scan, PET scan, 2 MRI's. As soon as we know what's going to happen next, let's set something up. OOSL2 - We've lived here since 1968, and there has been no one with that name living here. In those 42 years, out polling place has changed 3 or 4 times, and we never got a registration card for that name before. To me,. that's sufficient proof the registration is phony. _________________ I used to care, but I take a pill for that now. Pushing buttons sure can be fun.

I tend to agree with you, and if it were my address I would attempt to find the actual person whose name appears on the card, it could be listed in death records on the county clerk's website (server's still down today).
