A former U.S. Justice Department attorney is pleased that a federal court has ordered a second county in Mississippi to clean up its voter registration list by removing felons, dead people and other ineligible individuals off the rolls.
In September, the United States District Court for the Southern District of Mississippi entered a final consent decree requiring Walthall County Mississippi officials to clean up their voter rolls.
Now, in accordance with a another lawsuit by the American Civil Rights Union, officials in Jefferson Davis County must do the same.
Jefferson Davis has agreed to clean up its rolls because there is “systemic problem” across Mississippi and other parts of the country, says J. Christian Adams, the former DOJ attorney who filed the brief.
The problem with the voter rolls is there are “more people on the rolls than even people alive,” says the attorney.
AdamsAdams claims there are still more than 200 counties across the country that have more people registered to vote than live in the county.
"And that's what has to be fixed,” he says. “In the last election we had almost four million ineligible people on the rolls around the country. You can't have an electoral system with those kind of problems."

Four million! Those are the kind of numbers that could turn an election. (Have turned elections!)
And as we all know, dead people vote democratic.
(Both body dead, brain dead, or both...doesn’t matter.)
In fact, those types get double votes in Illinois, Massachusetts, and California.
I think my dog voted in Pennsylvania
Abolish the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Bring back the poll tax. Require property owners only as eligible to vote.
Then and only then will we begin to offset the fraud the democrats have gotten away with and will we then restore voter sanity to our country.
(Just to show that I am soft-hearted here - I don’t have a problem with women voters. As long as they are qualified.)
And I ask, what qualifies them?
Your comment reminds me of when I used to live in Houston and the Classified Ads regularly ran scripts that said, "Gal Friday with oil company 'front office' looks." Everybody knew what that meant. LOL.
Located pretty much exclusively in thee bluest areas of blue states, I reckon.
Concur. My theory on how to remedy the issue of population centers is to allow 2 electoral votes per county which would go to 2 electoral votes per state. This way you reduce the impact of densely populated cities and give a voice to the rural voter as well.
Detroit should be interesting now that the MI SOS has her boot on their neck. They’ll still vote democrat but they won’t do it with 200,000 more votes than people.
The reason a white guy won the mayoral primary is because the state made them include the 40% of votes removed by Detroit locals.
I would think your sentiment, if I get it correctly, would be met by restricting voters to tax-payers.
There is support for doing away with the winner take all system here in Michigan and awarding electoral votes by district.
That way Detroit can cheat to their heart’s content and they’ll still only get the limited number of electoral votes assigned to them.
And I ask, what qualifies them?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Are they property owners? Or married to one?
Then OK.
Yep. I’d be happy enough if they quit gerrymandering the districts to favor the liberals.
Simple solution, require everyone to show up to the county voter registration office, in person, with ID, once every 5 years and reapply.
Any bets on the designation of the predominant political party in those counties?
there should be no registration rolls
People should have to register annually or every 2 years at the most.
Somewhat of an aside, but how about a blue die marker on someone’s thumb after they vote? Seems to have worked in Iraq.
Married property owners, in essence, would get two votes.
Sounds actually like a good system.
That would be RACIST! You're just trying to minimize the minority vote! You know they won't be able to find that office!
