Back during the 2014 midterm election, I went to my normal polling place. (I live in rural West Virginia so they are still a little behind the times and pull a paper voter registration card when you vote.) I noticed that they pulled my father card instead of mine, after correcting them I asked why they still had my father on the voting rolls considering he passed away in 2000. Of course the old volunteer poll worker lady didn't have a clue and said I'd need to talk to somebody at the county courthouse. So the next day I had off work I took my fathers death certificate down to the courthouse and told them my dad had been dead for 14 years and was still registered to vote. They made of copy of the death certificate and said they would remove him, out of curiosity I asked them if they could check and make sure nobody had voted under his name, they pulled the records and said the last election he voted in was the 2000 general (which would have been correct as he passed away in late November of 2000). Then I asked them if there isn't some procedure for them removing voters that die. They said that they are suppose to get an annual report of deaths from Vital Statistics and cross reference that to the voter rolls, but some years they don't get one at all and other years they do but just don't have the manpower to clean the voter rolls.
So yeah, it's pretty much a mess....

You either fix up your rolls or no highway money, kinda of a reverse school food funding, you accept the money, here is the strings.
Trump could play that game with them and win....
