Gee, I wonder who she voted for.

Voting records in Oakland County show [Pia] Farrenkopf, who has not been positively identified by the Medical Examiner’s Office, is shown as voting in the November 2010 gubernatorial election. Pontiac city records indicate Farrenkopf registered to vote in 2006 and had not voted until 2010, but officials point out that could have been an administrative error and she may not have actually cast a vote. The city clerk, who was not in that job in 2010, said infrequent voters tend to vote in presidential elections, like 2008, over gubernatorial elections like the one in 2010.

Which is why every single suspicious-minded pundit (Hi!) in the country is instead looking at that report and coming to a somewhat simpler conclusion: time to have the state of Michigan at least start an investigation into possible election fraud. I’m sorry, but when you get a report that a woman whose corpse has been sitting in a garage for six years has nonetheless somehow voted in 2010, you check that out. There is no way anybody can justify not investigating that. This is textbook voter fraud stuff: find somebody registered to vote who didn’t in a Presidential year, and use that identity to cast one in a non-Presidential year*. Easy to get away with; heck, somebody apparently did.

Seriously: surely we can all agree that this case needs investigating, at the very least?
