Usually people just move and register at the new place. That can produce a lot of non-fraudulent duplications.
Anyone here remember to un-register before moving?
Just guessing here, but I’d bet a paycheck on the fact that there is no part of that number that is statistically significant on “relocation” registration irregularities.
And as far as the ‘unregistering’ thing, why is that a problem if there is no fraud in the region from whence you left? It’s just a nonvoting registration, right? Not hardly. It’s what Democrats are made of.
I’m surprised that people here believe that voting more than once is a problem.
Eric Holder has looked into this issue and states that not only is this not a problem...it’s not happening and not worth anyone’s time to investigate.
He is our Attorney General, he would not lie to us.
Nothing to see here...move on.

Most, but not all, localities are able to purge the absent voter from the list after several consecutive times of not showing up to vote, which is a somewhat flimsy and rather uncertain way of getting the voter off the rolls. It would possible to maintain multiple voting in separate states for many years, just by pre-arrangement with the current occupant of the property to forward “absentee” ballots to the double-dealer.
There are probably another several million voters in Florida alone that are also registered in other states, most notably New York and New Jersey.
One time when I moved to a new county the board of elections said that my old location would be notified and I would be removed from the voter list there. Years later I got a summons for jury duty there because no one actually did remove me from the list. Fortunately it was an easy problem to straighten out, but someone could have been voting for me in the old county for years.
I don’t know about other states, but Wisconsin asks for the previous address of the voter. I think the City Clerk’s office then notifies the Clerk for the previous address.
I did, but I am a conservative.
And I wonder how many of those get voted without the knowledge of the person who moved.
Got nothing to do with real vote fraud. I have voted legally in 5 states and am not unregistered in any of them. How does one un-register? New registrations and change of addresses are supposed to wipe out the old. Of course, they do not. The real fraud consists of 'dormant' lapsed registrations being awakened to issue absentee ballots or by sending in voters to sub for "missing" voters.
A far more 'real' issue is apparent in FL, where many thousands of "Snowbirds" and retired people ... usually Democrats, consciously maintain their NY, NY, MI,IL, NE etc registration and vote in their home district by absentee ballot, thoughtfully forwarded to FL by mail, and also register in FL with Motor Voter, or at the PO, to vote in FL.
Maybe 200,000 of'em. That's more than enough to screw up FL, and in a national election, to give the state's electoral vote to the Democrat. Speaking of iceberg tips, that is far from the full story of FL vote fraud, as the probably honest but somewhat naive Co. West discovered to his chagrin. And, he didn't fight it very hard, IMNVHO.
This was a citizen's wake-up call to me, though. I swear to go back and "unregister" wherever I was formerly registered.
NH has a large college presence.
They are always around during voting.
They mostly vote Democrat.
They can vote in this state as a resident and also send in an absentee ballot from their home state. Happens all the time.
Exactly.
I read the whole damn article looking for the red meat, namely evidence of how much cross-state multiple voting actually happens (e.g., Massholes with second homes in Floriduh).
My hunch is that the bulk of electoral fraud does not depend on registering in multiple states. Rather, it's multiple fake registrations by individuals in the same urban area or ballots cast by corrupt officials for registrants who didn't show or who they knew wouldn't show. Or spoiling ballots already cast for the wrong candidate. Or simple fudging of totals.
Where I live the election supervisor un-registers anyone who fails to vote in two consecutive elections.
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.
