The Social Security Administration sent about 89,000 stimulus payments of $250 each to dead and incarcerated people — but almost half of them were returned, a new inspector-general’s report has found.
The kicker is that the stimulus legislation did not include a provision for the Social Security Administration to automatically pull back the money so, in some cases, the money is sitting in checking accounts of dead people.
We’re talking $12 million, which Democrats will say is not a lot and the rest of us will note is $12 million more than should have been paid.
It has come to this: Democrats are not only getting the dead to vote, but paying them for their votes too.

CMaree (Diary) Thursday, October 7th at 11:08PM EDT (link)these Democrat voters have nothing better to do then vote early and vote often.
So the government sent them stimulus checks.
Those delivered checks proved residency and their demoncratic eligibility to swing any election Chi town style.

johnt Friday, October 8th at 10:54AM EDT (link)Where would the Dems be without them? Apart from being a little mouldy & needing a change of underwear do they smell or think any differently from purportedly living Democrats ?
I mean really. how do you tell the difference, Harry Reid especially?
This adds new meaning to the name, the Grateful Dead, and at least they won’t kick back the money to Dem candidates rumored to be alive.
