I'm not sure how this attack even works. You can't make up dead people; you have to know who the dead people are. You can't cast votes for random dead people; they have to be dead people from the precinct you're EJ'ing. I buy that you could get 1-2 votes cast this way, but not how you could cast a material number of them. Meanwhile, getting caught just casting 1 such vote is a guaranteed prison sentence. You can't have a vast conspiracy across many dozens of precincts in order to rack up a material number of dead-person votes. It just doesn't make sense.

Not an expert here but my read is that they were looking at the electoral register, and falsifying votes from real registered voters that just didn’t show up on the day.
At least that’s what it sounds like in
> Beren and her accomplices from the Board of Elections would then falsify the polling books and the List of Voters and Party Enrollment for the 39th Ward, 2nd Division, by recording the names, party affiliation, and order of appearances for voters who had not physically appeared at the polling station to cast his or her ballot in the election. Beren took pains to ensure that the number of ballots cast on the machines was a reflection of the number of voters signed into the polling books and the List of Voters.

Why are you so incredulous about this topic? The OP linked two sources showing that it did clearly happen:
