Even 100 percent voter registration doesn't pass the smell test. In a clean, free and voluntary system, there are going to be people legally eligible to register to vote but who simply aren't interested. I believe that the national average is something in area of 70 to 80% of potential legal voters registered. Nothing shady about that.
What is shady is registering people, real or imaginary, who you know aren't going to show up to vote (and voting in their absence) thereby increasing the percentage of registered voters close to 100% or beyond.
True
That can't happen in Texas as you have to show up at the courthouse to register and prove who you are by having certain documents. If you tried to register as a dead person when you buy license tags on line (motor voter), those names are sent to the election division of the secretary of state to determine if that name is a valid voter - there would be a death certificate for that person.
Other states who allow registration on voting day would also require some identification to prove who you are and your address to determine if you are a valid voter in that precinct.
I think it is Colorado, someone correct me if I have the wrong state, that holds the whole election by mail in ballots - or is that Washington state? I don't believe there are voting precincts open on election day. It might be possible to vote at the courthouse that day, don't know. I also don't know the process there to prevent fraud in that system.
