Only 115,252 of the 550,000+ voted in 2020.
This is evidence of right-wing vote suppression.

Thanks. I have posted that link before. If the story keeps showing up like a bad penny, it is good to see that brought up, as well.
BS, the voting age in 1918 was 21 not 18, ergo 1921 would have been the default for a 1900 birth and only for males since females did not yet have the right to vote.
Thank you for debunking. I believe the election was likely stolen but still a lot of what we hear on both sides is BS. It always pays to get things straight.
Years ago....in DoD years, I had to do update work on various Soviet military sites. At some point, over a weekend...there was this massive rebuild of the database and I asked if they had a full back-up. That was pushed back. Come Monday, we had this problem....the fields of data were corrupted. X number of fields got pushed into another data-field. It was probably about 100 man-hours of work required. I suggested they take down the program...go back to the old software, but the bosses refused. So we wasted a hundred-manhours correcting the system.
To have 550k records with this 1/1/1918....I would suggest some contractor probably rebuilt the program and some glitch occurred....with no one willing to undo it or correct it. Resolving this? You’d have to have a paper copy of the correct information and spend a month with twenty people reviewing each of the 1/1/1918 problems.
But before you do this....I would be curious to ask....how of the 550k are dead. It wouldn’t shock me if all were dead voters from the past twenty years.
But, but the 2020 election was the “most secure in history”.
What a surprise
I like this idea, but the Dems wouldn’t go for it.
A compromise could be, dump the rolls every 10 years and then you register. Checked against the census rolls for “established residence” purposes.
Yeah, I know the census answers are supposed to be confidential, but you know they’re not, so let’s use it to OUR advantage.
The Pubs should push hard for the four year idea, then compromise on the ten year position.
“I’d say it’s somewhere between 100% and 100%,” The author sure cuts them short. I would bet many managed to vote 2 times or more.
As a matter of fact, I do have evidence that this is a database error.
Here is why those seemingly odd, and old, dates exist in WisVote:
Prior to 2005 voter registration in municipalities with less than 5,000 in population was not required in Wisconsin. In municipalities with more than 5,000 in population, voter registration was required and was tracked in many different databases and spreadsheets maintained by those municipalities – not by the state of Wisconsin in any central location.
The Help America Vote Act of 2002 (“HAVA”) required “statewide” voter registration in Wisconsin (and all other states with a population greater than 500,000 residents) and it required the state agency overseeing elections to maintain a database of voters in all cities, villages, and towns in Wisconsin (approximately 1,850 across 72 counties).
To comply with federal and state law, the State Elections Board (succeeded by the Government Accountability Board, and later the current Wisconsin Elections Commission) developed the original statewide voter registration database and election management system called SVRS. The SVRS has been succeeded by the current database and election management system developed and maintained by the WEC called WisVote.
Between the passage of HAVA and full implementation of statewide voter registration in 2006, municipalities with more than 5,000 in population that already had a database of legally registered voters worked to transfer the existing voter registration data from their own municipal system (“legacy system”) into SVRS. In some of these municipalities prior to 2006 certain pieces of voter information were not required when registering to vote and was therefore not obtained at the time the voter registered. However, that information was required in the new SVRS system per state statutes. (Wis. Stat. § 6.36(1)).
In those situations where a municipality’s legacy system did not track a voter’s date of birth or initial date of registration, a default date for either of those was entered into the SVRS for that voter as these were required fields moving forward from 2006. The default date of birth is 1/1/1900 and the default date of registration is 1/1/1918. See FAQ on other data conversion questions regarding phone numbers found here: https://elections.wi.gov/node/7514
Since 2006, many of these default values have gone away, as voters move or update their name which requires them to re-register to vote. The voter’s “old” record containing the default information (1/1/1900 DOB or 1/1/1918 date of registration) is merged with the “new” record that the voter creates. This merge of records maintains the voter’s history of participation in elections, the voter’s former address or former name. Some voters have also proactively updated their date of birth with their local clerk even if they were not required to do so as part of a new voter registration. And some municipal clerks have also proactively contacted voters who have default information and asked them to update the information.
Even so, as of fall 2021 there are still about 3,700 active voter records that contain default information for date of birth. In addition, about 120,000 records exist in the system with a default date of voter registration. Voters in either of those groups are not affected in any way by the default dates shown in their registration record.
It’s important to note that a legally registered voter who has not changed any information which requires them to re-register stays registered regardless of whether the clerk has asked for an update or not. Except for individual efforts by an elections clerk to update the records for a voter with the default dates, those values for date of birth and date of registration in a voter’s record remain there unless or until they have a reason to complete a new voter registration form, such as a change of address or name.
So...annndddddd?
They went to computerized voter rolls and then to a different computerized voter rolls and on one change of systems, were unable to get the birth dates to carry over so people ended up with the default DOB. At least that’s the story I read somewhere months ago. Kinda makes sense. If someone’s going to insert half a million fake names, is it so hard to insert fake, random DOBs? Were all half million named John Doe? Do all half million have the same address?
See what I mean. If you’re going to the trouble of making up random names and addresses, why wouldn’t you go ahead and make up random DOBs?
It’s just a case of government incompetence in being unable to bring over the DOBs into the new system or buying a new system that was incapable of that. The right tech person probably could have figured out a way but not some gubmint lackey. People in gubmint give contracts to or hire their friends and relatives, regardless of competence.
You're just being silly now. Wisconsin transitioned its locally-based voter registration to a state-based voter registration system in 2006. I'm sure the programmer responsible for this in 2006 didn't give much thought to voting laws in 1918. It's kinda ridiculous to even suggest that the 2006 programmer cared about that.
No, the 2006 programmer only considered 2006 voting laws. His programming allowed for women and 18-year-olds to vote.
Thanks for the laugh, though.
By the way, This Page from the 2012 election is only retained by the WayBack Machine. Similar pages for the 2016 and 2020 elections are not available anywhere. The popular vote totals was available for the 2016 election and probably for the 2020 election, but all three including the page for the 2012 election have been removed at the archives.gov website. It would appear that someone doesn't want people looking at the popular vote numbers.
Perhaps that was the case, but it STILL does not explain why they didn’t see it necessary, and still don’t see it necessary, to try to add-in those birth dates.
What is preventing that, since birth dates are required for registration?
“No matter how you slice it, it’s out own fault. We’re the ones electing them to these positions.”
How about many of these officials were also put in place via the same vote fraud. This has been going on for years.
“If someone’s going to insert half a million fake names, is it so hard to insert fake, random DOBs?”
No, that is easy to do...the problem is they’ll get thrown out if the birth dates don’t match other databases.
But no birth date, no problem...
