City Shuts Down Database That Showed Dead People Voted

A funny thing just happened to "Voter Inquiry Menu," the internal city of Philadelphia database that showed  dead people voted.

This morning, without any prior warning, the city abruptly shut it down. City employees who tried to log on to the database found a note across the bottom of their computer screen that said it had been "disabled and cannot be used."

Meanwhile, officials at the Board of Elections, such as Al Schmidt, the GOP elections commissioner who's been called a RINO by President Trump, has plenty of time to do interviews with CNN, where he proclaimed that no dead person voted in Philadelphia. But Schmidt has repeatedly declined, by email and on Twitter, to answer Big Trial's questions about the 22 people who, according to the database compiled by his own office, have voted in prior elections.

As Big Trial has previously reported, city employees who logged into the "Voter Inquiry Menu" database discovered a parade of 22 dead people, led by former heavyweight champ Smokin' Joe Frazier, who miraculously came back to life to vote in past Philly elections from 2015 to 2019. 

Since all the information stored on that "read-only" database emanates directly from the Board of Elections, in corrupt and contented Philadelphia, did the city have to shut it down for some urgently needed "housekeeping?"

In the case of Smokin' Joe, he died on Nov. 7, 2011, but in 2018, according to the Voter Inquiry Menu, Frazier voted in the general election.

Other celebrities on the list of dead people who voted in Philadelphia included Will Smith's late father, Willard Carroll Smith Sr. He died on Nov. 7, 2016, but still managed to vote in the 2017 and 2018 general elections. 

And Anna Henderson, the oldest living person in Pennsylvania, who died on July 1, 2014, at 114. But, according to city records, she still managed to vote in the 2017 and 2018 general elections.

The other names on the dead people voting list included seven hero cops who died in the line of duty, a murdered community activist, and 11 dead relatives of cops. 

According to federal and local sources, the U.S. Attorney in Philadelphia has launched a criminal probe into multiple allegations of voter fraud here in the city, including Big Trial's report about the 22 dead people who voted in previous elections, led by Smokin' Joe.

While the commissioners on the Board of Elections, such as Al "RINO" Schmidt, aren't talking to Big Trial, they are talking to other media outlets, such as snopes.com. 

According to that website, the board sent snopes.com the records of 15 Philadelphia voters named Joseph Frazier, and only one had Frazier's correct birthdate. The Board of Elections told snopes.com that it canceled Frazier's active registration shortly after his death, and that the real Smokin' Joe Frazier with the correct birthdate last voted in the city in 2006.

This led snopes.com to conclude that Rudy Giuliani, President's Trump's personal lawyer, was lying when he repeated the allegation at a couple of press conferences that Smokin' Joe had voted from the grave:

"Considering that irrefutable evidence — which was directly from the state-certified computer system running elections in Philadelphia — we can say definitely that no person or group used the identity of the famous boxer to vote after his death, including in the 2020 presidential election," snopes.com confidently declared.

As further proof, the website offered this official statement from the Board of Elections:

“The Board of Elections updates all voter records in Philadelphia upon receiving word of a voter’s death from state health officials," wrote Kevin Feeley, a PR spokesman. Regarding Smokin' Joe voting after his death, Feeley wrote, "The Board has no evidence to support this allegation.”

Now there's a carefully crafted statement. First Feeley, formerly known as Mayor Rendell's press secretary, a job that might require you to fudge some facts from time to time, describes how the system is supposed to work. Then he claims "The Board has no evidence to support this allegation.”

But that's not true. If the board looked at its very own "Voter Inquiry Menu" database, they would discover this document below. It records that one Joseph Frazier, AKA Smokin' Joe, complete with the historically correct birthday of Jan. 12, 1944, did indeed vote in the 2018 general election:

I sent Feeley a copy of this record and requested an explanation for why the Board of Elections' own records contradict the story that the board and Feeley told snopes.com.

Perhaps that's why nobody at the Board of Elections will talk to me? Because I've got their own records that show the dead voting, records that they'd prefer not to discuss at this inopportune time?

The specter of Smokin' Joe voting from the grave is not an isolated incident. In recent days, I have been contacted by several city employees who discovered that according to that same Board of Elections database, they also had dead relatives who voted in past Philly elections.

Since the Big Trial report on the dead voting, it's become a pastime in certain city offices for municipal employees to log onto the database, and see if they have any dead relatives voting.

I don't know of a single employee who's played this game and didn't discover that in Philadelphia, the dead come back to life on Election Day!

One city employee wrote to say that co-workers in his office independently discovered 15 dead relatives who had previously voted, according to that database. I have since obtained copies of records that showed that eight of those dead relatives indeed had voted in previous elections from 2015 to 2019. 

A second city employee discovered that his grandmother who had moved out of state in 2009 voted in the 2016 primary election. He also found out that his wife's mother and another uncle, both of whom had been dead for more than 10 years, had been voting ever since.

That second city employee said that ten co-workers in his office have since discovered that they had dead relatives who had been voting in Philadelphia. 

A third city employee employee discovered that her father, who died in 2015, voted in the 2016 primary and general elections, and also voted in the 2018 general election. A screen shot of the database confirmed that's what city records say. 

A fourth city employee discovered that his dead cousin was still voting. A fifth city employee discovered that his dead brother was still voting. 

And so it goes. Big Trial was in the process of collecting even more screen shots and electronic copies of those records to verify the allegations when the city shut down the database, which is accessible only to city employees, and can't be viewed by the general public. 

Any further investigation of that database will have to be done by lawyers investigating voter fraud on behalf of President Trump.

Or the feds.

But somebody in authority needs to start digging quick. Before the locals scrub those records clean.
