Virginia Young Democrat Caught Voting For 19 Dead World War II Vets

A Virginia Young Democrat working for a Democrat-aligned voter registration group was caught filing applications for dead people, including a World War II veteran that died in 2014.

Andrew Spieles, a James Madison University student working for HarrisonburgVotes admitted to submitting 19 applications of dead individuals.

A clerk was double-checking the entries of registered voters in the Shenandoah Valley city of Harrisonburg and came across the name Richard Allen Claybrook Sr., a name that she recognized. The clerk recalled that his son is a well-known local judge and remembered that his father had died a few years prior. Claybrook Sr. died in 2014 at the age of 87.

“He was a retired Fairfax County elementary school principal and had fought in World War II,” his son, retired Harrisonburg General District Court Judge Richard Allen Claybrook Jr told the Washington Post. “So our family is very disgusted that they would pick his name, because he was such a law-abiding citizen devoted to public service.”

After Spieles confessed to submitting the applications, Joe Fitzgerald, the local democrat who runs HarrisonburgVotes, fired him.

OK, this is a thing that sends me ballistic. If the courts won't let us have voter ID, then why don't states go around that by making it difficult to register without some solid proof of residence? At least require people to be bodily present to register.

My sister had a friend from Canada. She came here on her husband's visa. They divorced and it was expired, yet she was about to get a SS# and an Tax ID# despite that. I don't know if she voted but with a SS# she could have registered to vote here in Iowa.

We could stop alot of fraud by requiring that people must register in-person and have sufficient proof of residence and citizenship both.
