Yea. Not only that, when you hear about "dead people voting", this is often the explanation.

    The other big chunk is people who have the same or a similar name. Like "It says here David Jones died five years ago, but David Jones voted today. Suspicious?" "Dude, I'm David Jones Jr. The David Jones who died was my dad, David Jones Sr. Dick." Or whatever.

    I am a IIIrd, the third person down my male line with the same first, middle, and last name

    I'm the 5th with our exact initials, too

    One time, while applying for college, I was told I'd already used my GI bill allotment back in '55. Uh..... That was grandpa, and he died over 30 years before I was born, how did you mix us up?!?!

    (Also, I was never in the military and this was entirely irrelevant to me they just brought it up as something I couldn't do)

    I would love to know the winners of past elections counting only the votes of dead people.

    Wouldn't be surprised if Harris wins in the demography this time around. The greatest generation knows what it means to defeat fascists. But then again there are probably more boomers and anti vaxers dying these days.
