Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsI just heard that some Floridians might need a "Certificate Of Non-Death" to vote.
Saw a woman from Fla. on msnbc. She had been mistakenly misidentified as deceased. A horror story of how she got her drivers license and such, including her voter ID, revoked and the subsequent troubles getting them back.

(103,856 posts)3. The long form?
The way it used to work..people who had died, just no longer voted, and after enough missed elections, someone would call & find out they had died , and then they were removed....or a family member would show up with a death certificate to tell them to remove them from the rolls
A better way would be for every death certificate filed to have an AUTOMATIC form sent to the DMV, SS and voter registration.. No death certificate..no revocation
Computers CAN handle this... it's not rocket science. computer science..but not rocket science
