There are lots of movies and television shows about zombies. They are engaged in all sorts of activities in fiction. It turns out that in real life, they do something else: they vote. Recent investigations in Southern California have uncovered lots of zombie voters.

John Cenkner died in 2003, according to Social Security records. Nevertheless, John apparently voted in the 2004, 2005, 2006, 2008, and 2010 elections. His daughter told the local TV station she was astounded that this took place.

Julita Abutin died in 2006. But she voted in 2008, 2010, 2012, and 2014. The county even has “signed vote-by-mail envelopes” from someone pretending to be her.

The latest investigation turned up hundreds of deceased people who voted in Southern California. More than two hundred of them voted in Los Angeles County. One woman who died in 1988 has been voting for 26 years, most recently in the 2014 election.

It is worth mentioning that much of this voter fraud is taking place in the area where massive voter fraud took place 20 years ago. Representative Bob Dornan was defeated in a contested election. Loretta Sanchez won the election even though there was evidence of significant voter fraud through illegal ballots and questionable absentee ballots.

As I have mentioned in previous commentaries, critics dismiss these allegations of voter fraud as nonexistent and merely an attempt at voter suppression. The latest investigation out of Southern California should illustrate that this is a bigger problem than many would like to admit.

In the last few decades, we have had some very close elections at the federal, state, and local levels. Voter fraud may be electing people to office who do not deserve to be put in office.
