Receiving election mailings from candidates who have made the error of purchasing very old mailing lists happens at our home, too. Our county has, however, always been quickly up-to-date when it comes to removing deceased family members from county voting rolls. I have yet to receive one updated voter registration card or vote-by-mail reminder for the three people in our home, all legally registered voters prior to passing, who have died in the past two years.

My previous attempt at a reply timed out, so here are the cliff notes so I can go to bed. My dead FIL does not just receive random political mailers. He, like at least 6 other individuals with whom I share/d close personal ties who have either moved or passed away well over 2 years ago, have received polling place cards and detailed instructions for voting by mail from our state DOE.

I read your blog post and would love to know which groups you think are farthest down the rabbit hole.

I also read it. And to answer your question: yours and mine.

I critiqued my own group and my own experience. I discussed Kappa Delta's situation because it happened on a public Facebook page and involved a national news story.
That's as much as I'm willing to discuss publicly. There is no additional value going beyond what I've already written.
