Association of the Living Dead

Association of the Living Dead Republicans In India, several years ago A man falsely claimed his brother Was dead so he could inherit the family assets, The dead brother had to fight To be declared legally not dead And contest the will. “The Association of the Living Dead” Became a movement Of thousands of people. For in India apparently, It was a thing to declare Your relative is dead. I never thought That the US would have To form their own “The Association of the Living Dead” Until this week. The cyber ninjas In their infamous non-forensic audit In the 2016 Arizona election Claimed that hundreds of dead people Had voted. They gave their list of the alleged dead voters To the attorney general Who contact all 300 dead people Found that 299 of the 300 were in fact Not dead and none of them knew That unnamed political operative We’re claiming that they were dead. The one dead voter was alive when he voted early. But died before election day Thus making his vote not valid But there was no fraud involved As he was alive when he voted. Perhaps they need to form The “association of the living dead” To fight for the right of the non-dead people To continue to vote and receive other government benefits? What a sad commentary On the farcical nature Of contemporary life In these disunited States of America.
