6,100 dead people on Nassau voter rolls, Newsday analysis finds - Newsday:"Evelyn E. Burwell's family was surprised to learn she voted in the 2012 general and primary elections.
They knew she was an avid voter, but she's been dead since 1997.
Burwell is one of about 6,100 deceased people still registered to vote in Nassau County, a Newsday computer analysis shows.
The former Wantagh resident, who died at age 74, is also among roughly 270 people that records show voted in Nassau County after dying, a group that includes a man who voted 14 times since his death.
Newsday's analysis of voter registration and U.S. Social Security Administration death records found more deceased registered voters in Nassau County than any other New York county, accounting for nearly a quarter of the 26,500 on the rolls statewide.
Suffolk County has about 2,490 deceased people registered to vote, with roughly 50 listed as voting after their death."
