"We know this has been going on, a story the MSM is hiding."
Or trying to spin. I live in Ohio and one explanation being given for the new added voters causing an area's population to be greater than the census states, is that people are kept on the voter rolls long after they move. In other words, it's just an accounting artifact. There REALLY is NO fraud going on!
And I would like to sell them a piece of the bridge over Lake Erie/
I believe there's a formula for sorting out the percentage of people who move every year, change their names, etc. And from what I have seen, it does not give a result anywhere near as large as this.

Actually there may be some truth to this. TX once required annual registration, which had to be completely by Jan. 31 of every year. This kept the voter rolls automatically up-to-date. However, in the early 1970s, maybe 1971, SCOTUS ruled that such annual registration and prior to Jan. 31 was an undue burden on voters. TX then adopted permanent registration in 1975. Every two years new voter certificates are mailed out, and many are returned by the Postal Service. Presumably, those returned are dropped from the voter rolls.
Now some Republicans have also opposed having picture ID for voting on grounds that such a requirement might discourage high turnouts.
