As I have previously reported, I am tracking the deceased in Shelby County and their voting patterns. After analyzing the early voting data, it appears there are at least two people who have voted and died on the same day. While I am aware that is possible, I wonder if it is probable. I thought about contacting the families of these people, but decided not to, because death is such a touchy subject. I found several other voters who voted, then died a week or so later, but I believe that is certainly not out of the ordinary.
From what I read of Mr. Joseph Mora, he and I could have been big buds. I have been a Denver Broncos fan since the early ‘70s and a fan of the Tigers since I can remember, and I have had a running love affair with the Rocky Mountains for decades too. If these names were real common, I might not think much about this. Given our recent voting history, I’m thinking the election commission needs to take a closer look.
Here is the record for Mr Mora’s vote:
07/15/06 MORA, DANIEL J
Here are the obits from the CA:
Mora, Daniel Joseph
DANIEL JOSEPH MORA, 56, beloved husband and father, died on the morning of Saturday, July 15, 2006. Dan was a native of Colorado Springs, CO, and he remained deeply fond of the Rocky Mountain front range throughout his life. At the age of 16, Dan moved with his parents to Japan, where he graduated from Chofu American High School. He later joined the Air Force and served as a Staff Sergeant. During this time, Dan also found success as a musician, and toured the region extensively to great acclaim. Dan returned to Colorado in 1974. There he met Karen Kay Simpson, and they married in December 1977. They had their first daughter, Barbara Sutton, in June 1980. The family moved to Memphis in 1981, eventually settling in southeast Shelby County near Collierville. Dan and Karen had a second daughter, Cassidy Hull in August 1984. Dan was a career professional in the logistics industry, and at the time of his death, was the Vice-President of Facility Operations for Custom Logistics and Warehouse Services, LLC. Dan will be remembered fondly by all who knew him as a man who was devoutly passionate about living every moment of his life to its absolutely fullest. He loved the blues, rock and soul, the Denver Broncos and the Memphis Tigers, and above all else, his family. Dan will be survived by his wife of 28 years, Karen, his daughter, Sutton Mora Hayes (and Kerry) of Memphis, and his daughter, Cassidy H. Mora of Louisville, TN. He also leaves his parents, Ron and Barb Bettger, of Pueblo West, CO; his brother, Anthony Sharer, of Colorado Springs, CO; his grandmother, Billie Gilbert, of Canon City, CO; and a host of family and friends who loved him very much. Funeral services will be 1 p.m. Wednesday, at Memorial Park Funeral Home with burial to follow in Memorial Park Cemetery. A visitation will be held one hour prior to services. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, Mid-South Chapter. Memorial Park Funeral Home 901-767-8930
Update . . . August 9, 2006
After posting this item on the blog, and giving it to the Commercial Appeal, I received an "angry" email from one of Mr. Mora's survivors. She was upset about his father's good name being maligned. I'm afraid she was wrong. I never maligned Mr. Mora one little bit. As a matter of fact, I can now state, unequivocally, that he must have been a "great American". Being a Denver Bronco fan, is big in and of itself, but he demonstrated that he knew what this country was founded upon - the right to vote - because one of his last acts on God's earth was to vote.
If any of Mr. Mora's family was offended by my posting this on the blog, I am sorry. However, I am not sorry for being the "watchdog" over the voting process. If someone else would like to step in and pick up the reins, I'd be more than glad to hand them off! Until that happens, I'll be watching and if I believe I see illegal activity, I'll be taking some sort of action.
The headline says it all....Houston Tops for Patient Trust in Doctors
FRIDAY, Sept. 8 (HealthDay News) -- Patient trust of doctors is highest in Houston, Dallas-Fort Worth, Boston, Denver and Philadelphia, according to a new survey. The survey of 41,148 people also found that doctors in all the nation's 20 largest cities scored higher than doctors in rural areas in terms of trust, whether the patient would recommend the doctor, and other indicators of patient satisfaction. The results were released by the health-care ratings organization HealthGrades. In the 20 cities, an average of 66.2 percent of patients said they "definitely, yes" trusted their doctors to make decisions/recommendations in their best interests, compared to an average of 61.1 percent in rural areas. Here are the results for the 20 cities: Houston (70 percent); Dallas-Fort Worth (69.2 percent); Boston (68.2 percent); Denver (67.9 percent); Philadelphia (67.8 percent); Chicago (67.7 percent); Miami (67.4 percent); Washington, D.C.-Baltimore (67.3 percent); Seattle (66.7 percent); New York (66.4 percent); Detroit (66.3 percent); Cleveland (66.2 percent); Phoenix (64.9 percent); St. Louis (64.5 percent); Tampa-St. Petersburg (64.4 percent); San Diego (64.2 percent); Los Angeles (63.4 percent); Orlando (62.7 percent); Atlanta (62.6 percent); San Francisco (62.1 percent). The findings, released Thursday, are based on questions asked between July 31, 2005 and July 31, 2006. Patients were also asked: whether they felt their doctor spends an appropriate amount of time with them; whether their doctor helps them understand their medical condition; and whether they would recommend their doctor to other people. "The same group of cities rose to the top in each of our questions related to doctor satisfaction: Boston, Chicago, Dallas-Fort Worth, Denver, Houston, Miami, Philadelphia and Washington, D.C.," Steve Wood, an executive vice president with HealthGrades, said in a prepared statement.I just love to see validation for our city. This story proves that we are world class even without a "world class mass transit system" We have the best doctors, hospitals, and care anywhere. And this is in spite of the ocean of expenses that we waste because of illegal immigrants. I mean from the looks of it we are one of the 8 best cities for doctors and facilities in the US... Hey LA, and NYC where are you all.
This is something that the Greater Houston Partnership needs to follow up on.
