Deceased Bishop of Brooklyn on voting rolls as active voter 22 years after his death



Is he the only one? Link:


 


Former Diocese of Brooklyn Bishop Francis Mugavero died in 1991, but according to the Board of Elections he remains an active voter — despite the Church’s efforts to get his registration cancelled…


 


Harrington said he found the failure to remove Mugavero from the rolls disturbing — especially since the state law only requires voters to reproduce a signature beneath the one in the register.


 


“When people who are deceased are on the voter rolls for over 20 years, it indicates there’s a problem,” Father Harrington said. “This is one of the fundamentals of our democracy, and it’s clearly not maintained.”
