Saw this comment in response to an article about the Florida voter registration purge...
My father was a staunch conservative and voted straight line Republican until the day he died, now he votes Democrat.
I see dead people...voting!

With balloting well under way in the general election, the Florida Sun Sentinel found more than 65,000 ineligible and duplicate voters on Florida's registration rolls. These included at least 600 dead people, 32,000 voters registered more than once and more than 33,000 convicted felons who by law, should not be allowed to cast ballots.

The state Division of Elections says that 43 of 96 voters found in the last couple of months to be illegally registered because they're not citizens were registered in Lee County.
