This is an open letter to Secretary of State Marc Ritchie and Attorney General Lori Swanson:

I recently found interesting reading by the Minnesota Majority, whose research uncovered the list of felons and deceased who voted in the November 2008 state elections (predominately in Hennepin and Ramsey counties). Local media have yet to broadcast or publish much of the ACORN endorsements of that state election.

My concern rests on the establishment of updated/purged voting records, thus allowing one vote per eligible citizen enjoying his/her constitutional right to cast a ballot.

My question: Would it be possible to purge the voting system in the areas where questionable voting occurred?

A Christian, I believe Jesus Christ is the only person to have been resurrected. I seriously doubt that resurrection will occur in Minnesota cemeteries on Nov. 2, 2010.

My comment: Citizens, be alert. Study the issues by all candidates and vote.
