Washington....the new Chicago!!!

In the last gubernatorial election, they discovered that dead people could vote in Washington State too... it was really special.

Further, the election was such a mess that some people wanted to try a revote. I remember one of the people against the revote was a woman who said that her father had just died and that if the election were held today his vote wouldn't count, because the previous election would be nullified.

I remember thinking... "Lady! He's dead! What does he care?"  I have a feeling she wanted to keep voting for him...

Maybe we should be like the ancient incas. When their emporers died, they didn't care. They believed their emporers to be immortal even though their bodies had turned to fetid mummies, and so their whole ruling household stayed together still, and stayed like a political body influencing the empire's politics from beyond the grave. There were women who could "discern" the old stinky emporer's will and communicate it to the people. Once a year they would parade the corpses around the streets. Every new emporer had to build all their own new palaces because the old emporers still possessed them... Fascinating group of folk... kinda like Washingtonian voters...
