DEAD MAN VOTING: MORE ILLEGAL FLA. BALLOTS Monday,December 25,2000 MALCOLM BALFOUR MIAMI - More violations surfaced in Florida's election fiasco when it was revealed yesterday that scores of unregistered voters, including some from New York and New Jersey - and at least one dead man - cast ballots in Miami. Poll workers allowed a total of at least 144 ineligible people to vote Nov. 7 at just 138 of Miami-Dade County's 617 precincts, according to an ongoing investigation by The Miami Herald. All the illegal votes counted in one of the closest presidential races in history. The ineligible people only had to sign sworn statements that they were eligible to vote. "Some poll workers were too trusting," said Miami-Dade Elections Supervisor David Leahy. "Some clerks obviously did not follow procedures. "A lot of what we do is on the honor system. Clearly, you cannot have a deceased person voting." But at least one did - Haitian immigrant Andre Alisme, who died at age 60 in May 1997 and was resurrected at a Presbyterian church that serves as the polling place for precinct 141. nypost.com
