About
Deadvoter is deadicated to Illinois, Cook County and Chicagoland Politics. Where the dead vote early and often on election day.
Deadvoter came from the election of John F Kennedy in 1960 when at the last minute a surge of votes came from Chicago, IL and Cook County to put Kennedy over the top to win the election.
It was later found out that many of these votes were registered to dead people whose registrations had not been removed from the voter rolls. For the 1960 election it seems that the Dead in Illinois had voted.
Thus this site is deadicated to the politics of Illinois, from City Hall, to the Capitol in Springfield, and now the White House where a Chicago native leads the Executive Branch as President.

Um, hate to be the one to point this out, but I used to believe it myself…
The allegations of voter fraud in the 1960 elections, from which this website has taken its name, were found to be bogus — by the RNC.
Yes, it is a common legend that either the mob or the unions or whatever stuff ballot boxes here in IL in 1960, and it’s true that there are any number of other issues of election chicanery. But, with respect to the 1960 presidential election that put Kennedy in office, there’s no solid evidence to substantiate the allegation.
I list this because I was in Palm Bch. County Florida for the 2000 election and didn’t vote. …You know, what difference could my vote possibly make?
So, it’s really important to check the facts and do your homework. Here is the article in Slate.com that goes through the details. …They point out the most obvious issue: Namely, Kennedy one *FOUR* states more than the required amount. Even if Nixon had carried IL, JFK carried Texas thanks to having former Texan LBJ on the ticket.

No solid evidence, yet 650 people were prosecuted and 3 of them served jail time. But no solid evidence.
However, a special prosecutor assigned to the case brought charges against 650 people, which did not result in convictions.[1] Three Chicago election workers were convicted of voter fraud in 1962 and served short terms in jail.[1] Mazo, the Herald-Tribune reporter, later said that he found names of the dead who had voted in Chicago, along with 56 people from one house.[1] He found cases of Republican voter fraud in southern Illinois, but said the totals didn’t match the Chicago fraud he found.[1] After Mazo had published four parts of an intended 12-part voter fraud series documenting his findings which was re-published nationally, he says Nixon requested his publisher stop the rest of the series so as to prevent a constitutional crisis.[1] Nevertheless, the Chicago Tribune wrote that “the election of November 8 was characterized by such gross and palpable fraud as to justify the conclusion that [Nixon] was deprived of victory.”[1] Had Nixon won both states, he would have ended up with exactly 270 electoral votes and the presidency, with or without a victory in the popular vote.

Right, no solid evidence to the claim that “the dead vote early and often” in IL.
Believe me, it gives me no pleasure to defend the state of electoral politics around here. …If it was up to me, I’d have Daley impeached for selling the parking meters, among other things.
But, on this issue, the facts are pretty clear. There are “irregularities” in most elections. That’s just the nature of the process, and they are on both sides. The question is, were there enough to consider calling the election no-good. No in this case.
By contrast, just consider the incredible amount of stuff that went on in Ohio in 2004. I won’t get into that here, but suffice it to say that there’s really no comparison.
Also, even in the blurb you cite, he would have had to overturn the results of BOTH Illinois AND Texas. Come on now.

There was more evidence and cause to continue the investigation, but Nixon put a stop to it

“By contrast, just consider the incredible amount of stuff that went on in Ohio in 2004. I won’t get into that here, but suffice it to say that there’s really no comparison.”
And how about the voter fraud that happened there in 2008 that gave the state to Obama? They relaxed the laws so that anyo0ne could rush there, vote and leave. Many instances of someone renting a house and allowing a lot of people to use it as their address, popped up. College kids came from as far away as England to vote.
Republicans fought to get the information released but the Democrat in charge, fought it and it ended up going to the Supreme Court. Incredibly the GOP was denied access to the voter information.
Face it, our elections stink. Too much ability for fraud. Like King County in Washington State. Funny how a bunch of absentee ballots are found, not in time for the first recount but the second recount that finally put the female democrat in Governor’s office. Yeah, they were mysteriously found in a mail room supposedly. If you believe that’s true, I have some swampland to sell you.
There is just too much corruption in politics. Blago is not an isolated incident. I firmly believe that is how stuff works all over the country.
