Texas I recall has a tradition of having the dead vote too. I think in some cases they have even been known to vote in alphabetical order too. This year Missouri even has a dead man winning an election. Personally I think more dead people should run for the Senate. Wouldn't bother me a bit if they had 100 elected caskets lined up there on the senate floor. It would give new meaning to deadlock. Heck I would even be for seeing it split 50/50 Dems and Reps.

Re: "200,000 dead vote in Chicago every time." Yeah, but must of 'em only vote once. By the way, Ish, what's the real story of what happened downstate in '60? What kind of vote-fraud tricks did Nixon-Dirksen pull in Little Egypt and around Peoria to counter what Daley did up in Chicago? That is, of course, the real reason why Nixon didn't challenge the Illinois results ... that he would have cooked his goose in future elections ... that and the fact that a reversal wouldn't have changed the Electoral College count. I've always found it a bit incongruous that Nixon thought it was OK to bug McGovern's HQ in '72 but thought it beneath him to contest Illinois "for the good of the country." What a bunch of hogwash.
