There’s lots of talk about the potential for dead voters voting, but how likely is it. Not very.  But it takes a lot of legwork to show it.

Watch this report from Milwaukee:

The I-TEAM purchased from the Wisconsin Elections Commission voting records from the November, 2012 general election. Narrowing our focus to Brown, Milwaukee and Waukesha counties, we looked at 828,684 records of people who cast a ballot in the last presidential race.

Using the first, middle and last names of those voters, plus their zip codes, we looked for matches in the Social Security Administration’s “master death file.”

That database contains information on every person declared dead by Social Security dating back decades.

What we found were 362 cases where the first, middle and last names, plus the zip codes of 2012 voters matched with a person declared dead and listed in the master death file.

If you think that proves ballots were cast in the name of dead people, think again….
