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.

Is that like swearing up and down you have piles of evidence of fraud then when you get in front of the judge claiming the fraud is undetectable?

Their "evidence" is every bit as good as your Russiagator bullshit. And no less entertaining.
So hey, what's up with Hunter? Will he slide like Don Jr.?

Funny how the Russian collusion angle has real evidence you can find in the Mueller report, and that is with the investigation being specifically forbidden from investigating the POTUS and with Barr deliberately lying about the report's contents. Hint: Mueller specifically said the report does not exonerate Trump. But again, here I am explaining reality to a crazy person.

No, there was no evidence, no recordings, no receipts, no pictures, nothing but pure hearsay from gossipy bureaucrats, including the very same James Clapper that lied about the NSA's ubiquitous spying, and there's the intelligence agencies that lied us into war in Afghanistan/Iraq. Your Russiagate is pure bullshit, but by all means, continue your insane blame passing... talking to a crazy person indeed!

You should actually read the report instead of parroting what some internet trolls tell you to believe.
