Dead Prez's Can't Vote in DR Anymore

14:06 H | Topics: Dominican Republic

Money_of_Dominican_Republic.jpgWhat do Juan Bosch and Joaquin Balaguer have in common? If you answered that they were both presidents of the Dominican Republic and died in 2002 you'd be partially correct. Up until recently they were also eligible voters. How recently? Up until last week. Their names along with thousands of other Dominicans who are deceased, have emigrated or are otherwise ineligible to vote in next year's elections were purged from the official record.
