Zombie Voters Should Scare the Hell Out of U.S. Citizens –
Never mind ghouls, goblins, and witches. This Halloween, beware of zombie voters.
The Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF) has documented a spine-chilling problem: Americans who cast ballots while dead.
“We are taking action against election officials who refuse to follow federal law and remove deceased registrants” from voter rolls, explained J. Christian Adams, PILF’s president and a veteran of the U.S. Justice Department’s Voting Section.
In 2020, PILF successfully sued Pennsylvania and forced it to sweep some 13,000 zombie voters from its rolls, although 8,837 remain. “What we found in Pennsylvania was that not only were the dead people on the voter rolls, but dead people were registering to vote after they were dead,” Adams said. “Now, there’s a new one, I don’t think anybody has found something so crazy as people registering to vote after death.”
Perhaps from Heaven or Hell, these citizens glimpsed America’s future and decided to vote from the grave and steer this country onto the path of righteousness. If so, Americans owe these zombie registrants a deep debt of gratitude.
(As I write these very words, Atlanta Rhythm Section’s spectacular 1979 Southern-jazz-rock classic “Spooky” popped up via Pandora. A zombie voter must be watching over me.)
The only thing spookier than zombie voters is the fact that they do not frighten election officials.
“In Michigan, Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson refuses to remove the names of more than 25,000 deceased registrants,” Adams said. “We have even provided her with some pictures of their tombstones and obituaries. Why is Secretary Benson fighting the removal of deceased registrants from the voter roll?” (READ MORE: Here’s to You, Cornel West and Dean Phillips!)
Even when confronted with hard evidence that certain voters had graduated to the great assembly line in the sky, authorities like Benson have dragged their loafers, made excuses, and otherwise failed to delete those names from their records, even after voters had expired years earlier.
In Michigan, “Almost 4,000 of them have been dead for two decades!” exclaimed Adams, author of Injustice: Exposing the Racial Agenda of the Obama Justice Department. This insider’s look inside the DOJ confirms federal lassitude about election integrity.

Despite dying during the Clinton presidency, this Detroit voter remained registered for more than 20 years (photo courtesy of PILF)
Back in the Wolverine State, Helen Gulvezan died on May 27, 2000. Long-time Detroit resident Theresa Domasiewicz passed away on May 20, 2000. Despite being dead since Bill Clinton was president, Michigan officials will not erase them and others from their active voter registry.
The federal Motor Voter law requires that states clean their voter rolls, including de-purging them of zombies. Democrat officials treat this federal statute like a suggestion. Do they want to help zombies vote and thus steal elections for Democrats? If there is an innocent explanation for keeping zombies enfranchised, let’s hear it.
A cadre of 25,975 dead voters (such as those in Michigan) could throw an election, especially in skin-tight races. Donald J. Trump beat Hillary Clinton there by 11,612 votes in 2016. Biden trumped Trump by 10,457 ballots in Arizona, 11,779 in Georgia, and 20,687 in Wisconsin. So, nearly 26,000 zombie voters in competitive races could define defeat or victory.

Zombie voters haunt America from coast to coast. PILF has identified 349,773 apparently deceased registrants on the voter rolls of 41 states including California, Florida, Texas, and New York. In North Carolina, 7,890 zombie voters cast ballots in 2016. In 2018, 6,718 of them did so.
With off-year elections next Tuesday and a Democrat versus Republican cage match in 53 weeks, this horror show cannot end soon enough.
Who ya gonna call?
Ghostbusters!
