RE: How many illegal votes were cast? – Some comments on your article about a recall effort in Tamarac being voided because – Whodathunk? – dead people voted in Broward County.

Ms. Huriash,

Let us stipulate that the recent acquittal of Tamarac Commissioner Patte Atkins-Grad, an acquittal based on the increasingly popular “I am a moron” defense, does not rise to the level of O.J. Simpson getting a pass on fileting his wife and her waiter. Still, it raises a stink in the nostrils of honest men that lingers. The more I see the more I realize that Plato was right when he wrote that “there are some professions in which it is impossible to be honorable”.

You write that the recall effort “fell 18 votes short of the required 1,250 registered voters in the district”. Further, you say that “more than 200 signatures were discarded because they weren’t registered or eligible to vote, lived in the wrong district or signed more than once”.

“more than 200” indicates a tally going from 201 to 299. The percentage goes from 16% to 25%.

Despite protestations to the contrary from perpetually outraged modern American Liberals who, like their banshee forebears, scream how dare you even suggest the possibility of voter fraud WOULD NOT LOGIC DICTATE that the same percentages of fraud could exist in other elections?

If I had been born on a farm the lesson of the rooster would not have been lost on me. I was born in Bayonne, N.J. and the annual resurrection of dead Democrats was observed every election day. Honest. You could look it up.

Is it racism per se to suggest that voting should be at least as hard as getting into a hospital or boarding an airline?
