Zombie Voters Should Scare the Hell Out of U.S. Citizens

The Public Interest Legal Foundation ​(PILF) has documented a spine-chilling problem: Americans who cast ballots while dead.

​“We are taking action against election officials who refuse to follow federal law and remove deceased registrants” from voter rolls, explained J. Christian Adams, PILF’s president and a veteran of the U.S. Justice Department’s Voting Section.

​In 2020, PILF successfully sued Pennsylvania and forced it to sweep some 13,000 zombie voters from its rolls, although 8,837 remain. “What we found in Pennsylvania was that not only were the dead people on the voter rolls, but dead people were registering to vote after they were dead,” Adams said. “Now, there’s a new one, I don’t think anybody has found something so crazy as people registering to vote after death.”
