I may be 72," Maria Arredondo from Michigan told us when we called her. "But I'm alive and breathing. My mind is working fine and I'm healthy."
Maria said she had voted for Joe Biden and was surprised to hear that her name had appeared on a list of supposedly dead voters in the state.
We spoke to other people in similar situations to that of Maria in Michigan and found similar stories.
To test the list, we picked 30 names at random. To this we added the oldest person on the list.
Of this list of 31 names, we managed to speak directly to 11 people (or to a family member, neighbour or care home worker) to confirm they were still alive.
For 17 others, there was no public record of their death, and we found clear evidence that they were alive after the alleged date of death on the list of 10,000. A clear pattern emerged - the wrong records had been joined together to create a false match.
Finally, we found that three people on the list were indeed dead. We examine these cases later.
When we looked for another centenarian, who according to the list had died in 1977, we found that she had still been alive when her postal ballot was returned in September. However, a neighbour told us the woman had died just a few weeks ago. We also found a matching obituary from October to confirm this.
Two other men on our list of 31 died some time ago, yet votes had been cast in their names - with the correct postcodes and years of birth - according to the voting database.
We found that for both men, there were sons with the same name currently registered at the same address as their deceased fathers.
In both cases, a ballot was sent in for the dead fathers.
Local election officials told us that one of the votes had been counted but there was no record of the son having voted.
In the other, it was the son who actually voted, but it had been recorded as the father's due to a clerical error.

When progressive news sources are writing the "news", all terrorists are "right wing". Especially when people like Aristarchus crawl the web on a daily basis searching for the terms. He ignores all left wing terror hits, and cherry picks those that fit his agenda. NYT does the same, saving Ari some of the work.

Because leftwing *cough* "terrorism" doesn't even make the cut, and it is always punished properly.
Rightwing actual terrorism is defended and hard to prosecute.
Try again you dimwitted jackass.

So, all those rioters in Portland are going to be prosecuted?

No, they're right wing. You can tell by how they're Americans, and affiliated with the Dems.
Another easy method is that right-wingers want to take other people's shit, but not do any work themselves (looters and thieves). Lefties want to give people shit, but they're trying to cut down on their own workload by forcing everyone else to also work. Anarchists just want to be left alone

There are protesters. There are rioters. The two are different. That is how you can distinguish between left wing and right wing.
If you eat an entire cake without cutting it, you technically only had one piece.

I'm glad you can distinguish between rioters and protesters. When some CNN idiot reporter gets in front of a camera to report "fiery but mostly peaceful", that idiot is defending RIOTING. There may or may not have been peaceful protests before the fires were started, but after the fires, after the broken windows, when the looting started, and old men were being beaten half to death, those were RIOTS. #freekyle #prosecuterioters
Take that Wall of Moms as an example. Stupid bunch of women knowingly stepped in front of active rioters, to shield them. Presenting the world with nice images of wholesome mothers, while the people they shielded were tossing explosives, shining lasers into cop's eyes, etc.
Prosecute the rioters, and I'll be just about finished bitching about that shit. Instead, people like the McClosky couple are being persecuted for protecting their own property. Kyle Rittenhouse is being persecuted for defending his own life.

Boogaloo. They're gonna fucking boogaloo. I thought, no way, they're not stupid enough to boogaloo. I thought, an electoral college roflstomp like that, Republican governors defending Biden win results, they gotta know they don't have the support they'd need to avoid being political incels. Then I listened to some AM radio during a road trip. The fucking idiots are gonna boogaloo. They think they're Jefferson Davis 2.0 and Man Jeebus is going to descend from the heavens in the form of the traitor Robert E. Lee and command Yahweh's Army of the Apocalypse on a jihad to cleanse the world of the inferior races and genders.
Oh man lol, they're gonna all get locked up so fast their heads will spin. I just can't believe these political incels. He surrendered! Get over it!
