Secretary of the State Hammers Final Nail in Coffin on Dead Voter Issue

Hartford: Secretary of the State Susan Bysiewicz today announced that over the last three weeks her office oversaw a major cleanup of Connecticut’s local voter rolls. As a result thousands of deceased voters have been removed from voter lists in advance of November’s presidential election.

“Three weeks ago I asked local elections officials to step up to the plate and investigate. They responded quickly and effectively to clean up the voter rolls,” said Bysiewicz. “Since April 20th, at the direction of my office, over 4,700 names of the deceased have been removed. This was a necessary act and major effort to ensure that integrity and security of November’s election.”

The action was triggered as a result of an April 20, 2008 Hartford Courant story by University of Connecticut students claiming thousands of dead people were registered to vote. Since April 20th 80% of the deceased voters identified by the UCONN have been removed from the voter rolls.
