"Watley's signature appeared on a page with several other signatures from the 5600 and 5700 blocks of Labadie Avenue. Watley was a postal worker who served in World War II. He was buried at Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery after he died at age 82.

Jackson died a few weeks short of her 83rd birthday. According to the funeral home that handled her arrangements, Jackson died in Oklahoma and was buried there on June 8, 2001.

Furthermore . . .

Boyd claims that dead voters are not the only thing wrong with the recall petition. He says some residents were told that what they were signing was a petition to remove President George W. Bush from office or to get money for neighborhood improvements."

----------
For the record, the target of this recall is Democrat Jeffrey Boyd.

1. I guess this undercuts one of the main arguments against...

... the "death tax." - No taxation without representation.

2. What??? I thought that only Dems were doing that kind of crap

4. I thought the paper handled it pretty well

They focus on the illegal activity, and dont even mention any party affiliations until more than halfway through the article.

5. If it were a Repuke being attacked by a bunch of Dems signing

dead people's names, it would be prominently displayed . . .
