Tucker claimed James Blalock, who passed in '06 for voting, it was his 96 year old widow who voted

Tucker Carlson: Yes, dead people voted in this election and Democrats helped make it happen

...

In some ways, it's an inspiring story, the triumph of voting over death. And no one quite embodies that story like James Blalock of Covington, Ga. Mr. Blalock was a mailman for 33 years until he passed away in 2006. Fourteen years later, according to state records, he was still mailing things. James Blalock cast a ballot in last week's election. How did he do that? Maybe he was just one of those extraordinary mail carriers; neither rain nor snow nor gloom of night nor even death itself could keep him from the mail. In his case, maybe voting from the grave wasn't really fraud, it was just commitment.

My wife and I played a game about how he was lying. She said similar names. I said that he is claiming they voted but that doesn’t mean it was counted.

to call themselves "Mrs. Husbandname Lastname." The habit has almost faded away, thank goodness. But some still do it and Tucker Carlson would have known that if he'd bothered to do two seconds of research. Perhaps someone really should have asked her to change it to her own given name before now, but it's not like she was trying to do anything nefarious. Good grief, he's a putz.

Tucker also knows his lie will stick and very few of listeners will see or believe the correction.
