Columbia, SC (AP, WLTX) -- The director of South Carolina's Department of Motor Vehicles has told the State Law Enforcement Division that more than 900 people who were recorded as having voted were actually dead. DMV Director Kevin Shwedo told legislators about the issue Wednesday as the U.S. Justice Department questions a new state law requiring people to show photographic identification when they vote in person. In response, South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson asked SLED to review the evidence. "Director Shwedo's research has revealed evidence that over nine hundred deceased people appear to have 'voted' in recent elections in South Carolina," said Wilson in a statement. "This is an alarming number, and clearly necessitates an investigation into potential criminal activity. I have asked SLED Chief Keel to review Director Shwedo's research." Shwedo analyzed more than 230,000 records on people without state driver's licenses or identification cards. He found state Election Commission data included 30,000 dead people. He said the records involving 900 dead people were turned over to SLED to investigate. Shwedo said the records also included more than 91,000 people who now appear to live in other states. When asked, Shwedo did not have the specific dates of the elections the records included. South Carolina's voter ID law was signed into law last year, and was to have taken effect January 1st. However, last month, the U.S. Justice Department said the law was unconstitutional as currently written.

One of the fatal flaws of the US Constitution is that there are no documented minimum requirements for voter registration and that fact carries over into state and local areas, too. South Carolina is no exception to this issue facing America; it is an issue that confronts our entire government process and procedures. Without voter qualification in a republick there can NEVER be quality in governance.
Maybe only "qualified voters" should be subjected to the laws and regulations passed by those who are elected by those deemed qualified to be voters.

How can anyone reasonably be against that? Voting is one of the most important duties of CITIZENS,and what could be more important when comes to voting than being able to insure the people voting are entitled to vote? The ONLY people that could possibly be against this are those who benefit from breaking the law.
