Some Petition Signers in St. Louis Reaching Out From the Grave

Despite all the efforts being made to deal with voting problems and irregularities in the state, those problems remain – at least in St. Louis, which has had its share of election irregularities in the past. Election officials in St. Louis have found some of the people who were thought to have signed a petition to recall 22nd Ward Alderman Jeffrey Boyd didn’t really sign the petition. They couldn’t. They’re dead. St. Louis Election Board officials will be going door-to-door this week to find out whether people whose names are on the petition did actually sign, or are – at the very least – still drawing breath.
