Invading Privacy for School Credit
veryloco writes "Students in Prof. Avi Rubin's Security and Privacy course at the Johns Hopkins University completed a project where they gathered as much public data on residents of Baltimore City as possible. One interesting fact was that 50 deceased persons voted in the last election. Read on to find out what other interesting tidbits were discovered."

Seriously, Chicago does have this problem and every attempt to cleanse the voting roles of dead voters is shot down as being discriminatory against minorities.
I guess you've never heard of the dead as "The Silent Majority" then...
once again proves that geek security is compromized by cleavage or the promise that someone likes you.

.. paranoid crackpot leftover from the days of Amiga.
No, no... the voting dead are a minority. Apathy about the democratic process is a huge problem in the dead community; most of them can't be bothered to get up and go to the polls.
They probably all had heart attacks when bush won.
The true moniker applicable to any resident of Baltimore is, of course, Baltimoron.
Why is it that the proponents of "one nation under God" are so eager to get rid of "liberty and justice for all"?
For that matter, it is of course *inceivable* that Rubin's students may have erred in their count...
This word you use, "inceivable", I do not think it means what you think it means.

The Kruger Dunning explains most post on
I thought that our public duty to vote ended once you died, but I stand corrected.

The basic argument is that most of the "questionable" voters on most states voter roles tend to be the poor
Of course, the dead are poor. That's easily explained by the old adage, "You can't take it with you."
