Isn't that (voter fraud) what you think is happening? If I ever got such a thing in my husband's name (he died over 12 years ago, besides never living in this state), I would be down to the election office immediately with his death certificate in hand.

Just looking for some thoughts as to how to handle this and want to know if I'm being a conspiracy theorist in thinking that someone is trying to use her to register themselves or someone else to vote.... id theft, etc?
As I said, you should take the letter along with her death certificate to the voter registration office in your area.

She never applied. This is a little disturbing to me as my mind is wandering. I'm wondering if someone else applied using her name.

Anyone else have this situation?

Advice?

Thanks
Call your local city hall to ask about where you report this and make sure it gets someone's attention.

Problem is, many states don't ask for ID anymore in the voting booth, but make a $4 purchase at Taco Bell and you have to show your ID.
Dangerous for us to not show ID to vote, and I think that is by design.

oh, she must have lived in NM and ACORN must have applied for her. It happens all the time in the Albuquerque area.

It could very well be a simple mistake. Just get the information together, call the court house, and see what they say. You really don't have enough information to know if it's a problem yet or not. They could have made a mistake over there and it could have nothing to do with voter fraud, but I'd get it cleared up.

I will call them tomorrow and see what they say.

I was wondering if anyone else out there has had something like this happen and what the result was, if they ever found out.

Someone else raised the identity theft issue--if it really is fraud (and you have no way of knowing that yet) I think that's the more likely scenario.

As others have stated on the remote chance it could be part of identy theft, I would call social security and make sure there has been no activity.

Contact the county voter registration office and explain that your grandmother is deceased.
Tell them the situation, that you don't recall her registering to vote.

Seems a simple solution to me.

Got some credible links to that?
