The latest interstate voter cross check tallied 6,951,484 overlapping voter registrations, and they’re just the tip of the iceberg.

The cross-check program involves only 28 states and does not include the three largest: California, Texas and Florida.

“Duplicate registration is an open invitation to voting fraud,” said Clara Belle Wheeler, a member of the Election Board in Albemarle County, Va. “This ability to vote more than once dilutes the legal votes and changes the results of elections.”

Let’s not forget those who voted multiple times as well as the dead.

[Anyone here remember to un-register before moving?]

Where I live the election supervisor un-registers anyone who fails to vote in two consecutive elections.

I did.

I've always moved a lot, both in state(s) and out of state(s).

The USPS has an incredibly helpful packet for movers,(change of address forms, checklists, etc) and included in that packet is a really simple notification form to your current voting precinct that you are moving elsewhere.
And yes, when you register to vote in a new location, you are asked for a previous address, so they can send the same form to the previous address, just in case you were too stupid to take care of it yourself, or if it got lost in the mail....

And no, normal people don't usually just move elsewhere, without leaving a forwarding address for the USPS.
