What if all the dead soldiers of all the past wars from WWI to present, rose from their graves to vote on war?

Question

Let's say an election is coming up and we gety to vote on ending all wars, but the government wants to continue. The government says all citizens vote. The deceased soldiers rise from their graves to go and vote. The law tries to kill them, and can't because they are already dead. They want to vote and have their votes count. And, once they vote, they take a few steps and fall to the floor, and turn to a pile of ashes. Would our government count those votes or discard them? Could we citizens demand they be counted? This is a curosity question to see how you feel about the subject matter being presented!! GO FOR IT.

Answer 1

Wow, the US would be really different, they would know first hand what would be right decisions. Things they experienced would really help them vote.

Answer 2

Why do you think the dead would vote against the war? A lot of people in those days were very patriotic, and in fact the wars they were fighting in seemed to have justification. I'm not sure at all that dead soldiers would vote against a war -- they believed they were serving and dying for their country, and many might do it again.

Answer 3

I would guess the soldiers would probably be pro-war even though they died in one. Many people have gone to their graves for a cause they believed in. Then again it may end up being split, I don't know how many were drafted. I don't think their votes would count, because they would have to register first, and provide proof of residency.

Answer 4

Great minds think alike!

There is a movie where dead soldiers come back to vote and run for office, called "Homecoming". Here's a review:

"How fitting that the most pungent artistic response to a regime famed for its crass fear-mongering would be a cheap horror movie. Jaw-dropping in its sheer directness, Homecoming is a righteous blast of liberal-left fury (it was greeted with a five-minute ovation in Turin, the most vocal appreciation seeming to come from the American filmmakers and writers in attendance)."

Answer 5

.........hm not 100% sure of what your going for but i do not think our government well i know our government does not count votes of the dead... esp if they only rose to vote lol i tell you what alot of them would make you think... like i think over half would vote to do something else then war... alot of people are like f u c k yea lets go to war and kick some a s s... but once they get their its a total different story also we could demand our government to do whatever we want but its them who decide... they say we have the power haha no, we only have the power to put them in, not to do what we want.

Answer 6

It would depend on which party they were voting for. If they were voting for Democrats the votes would surely be counted. If they were voting for Republicans they wouldn't count. If course, should the Republicans win anyway, the Democrats would insist that the votes were counted.

Answer 7

The flaw in your thinking is that fallen soldiers will vote against war. War is a fact of life.

I think you dishonor the soldiers by devaluing the gains for which they gave their lives.

Answer 8

regrettably He would in no way be in another u . s . if that befell.yet i imagine he is going to take each and each and every of the infantrymen abode as he's upset with the warfare in Iraq and it will be an excellent vote puller for him at the same time as He makes a call to call a commonly used election.

Answer 9

Well my grandfather was in world war two he is dead now.He lost his eye in the war and he would vote get rid of those evil terrorists.My grandfather and alot of other men fight for your freedom and mine.I think you should do a little research before you go saying things that don;t make sense to anyone.

Answer 10
