That sure is conveniently timed. Inside job, perhaps? Now they can push through a voter ID law.....

1. they can try, but the research has been done

these instances are almost never actual voter fraud, as shown by the Brennan Center.

If they push it through, it will just be another victory for ignorance and the forces arrayed against democracy, and will have NOTHING to do with justice.

Or as was said in another thread on another blog:

"More likely than not, 75% of these "dead voters" will turn out to be cases of mistaken identity. Meaning, living voters with the same name as people who have recently died. Father/son pairs are the usual explanation.
Probably 90% remainder will likely be due to the legitimate voter on either side of them in the poll book signing the wrong line. In that case, the dead person didn't actually vote.
Then, there'll be a few cases of people who cast an absentee ballot and then died afterwards. Don't know what the law is in SC if it still counts.
Ultimately, there might be less than half a dozen cases where a widow cast a ballot for a recently deceased spouse.
Nonetheless, we'll keep hearing about the "hundreds of dead people" that voted in the SC primary for years and years and how that justifies onerous voter id laws that'll prevent hundreds of thousands of legitimate voters from exercising their constitutional right.
Republicans tend to do a shoddy job with voter data because they know the first big scary number is what will stick with voters and the press. A half-way decent matching job would've cut the number of "fraud" cases by 90%."
