18 Voters Over 110 Years Old "Voted" in Texas Primary
2012-07-10

In an election decided by only 19 votes in the Texas primary this past May, it has been discovered that 18 votes were cast by people who could not possibly be alive. 18 votes were discovered from "voters" born in 1900 and 1901 in Brooks County, Texas.

Democrats are continuing to oppose voter identification laws in Texas.

#9  All 18 of the "voters" were, strangely, born on January 1 and they were all born in either 1900 or 1901.

They'll blame Y2K...

#8  "How about some Oldsters group looking into this, MAYBE we can get the Voter rolls cleaned out."

Good luck with THAT!

#5  What's the issue about age when the dead can vote, early and often.

#4  Brooks County - as of the 2010 census, the population is 7,223. Its county seat is Falfurrias. Brooks is named for James Abijah Brooks, a Texas Ranger and legislator.

If your spreadsheet is not formatted for dates correctly, you can get some 1900 or 1901 dates. I know, because I proofread.
