Nearly 350,000 dead registrants remain on voter rolls across 41 states, according to an audit (pdf) conducted by the Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF).
The number is a major improvement over the last time an assessment of similar scope was performed in 2012, when a Pew Research report turned up 2 million deceased voters on the rolls.
In the 2016 and 2018 elections, states credited 14,608 registrants for voting after death, the PILF report found. The foundation didn’t count cases where votes could have been cast by living registrants during the early or absentee voting periods.
North Carolina led the United States in both 2016 and 2018 in the number of votes credited to deceased registrants. The second-worst states in both elections registered three times fewer votes cast by dead registrants.
With less than two months left before Election Day in November, the report is a major contribution to the argument about mail-in voting. Supporters of vote-by-mail say it is more essential than ever in 2020 due to concerns about the spread of COVID-19. Opponents say universal mail-in ballots open the door for fraud and undermine confidence in the outcome of the election.
“The timing is critical. Partisan advocates have fought for automatic vote-by-mail systems in which all registered voters are sent ballots. These efforts must assume the voter rolls are accurate enough to sustain this sort of radical transformation to how we conduct elections. They are not,” PILF President J. Christian Adams wrote in the introduction to the report.
Some 100 million voters will receive either ballots or ballot request forms in the mail, according to a tally maintained by The Washington Post. Early and absentee voting has already begun in some states.
The PILF audit combined voter roll data from 42 states into a database where each registrant and vote could be cross-referenced to detect duplicate votes cast from the same address and spot registrants who appear to have voted more than once in their state or across state lines.
In 2016, there were 43,760 such duplicate votes cast. In 2018, the number dropped to 37,889. Tens of thousands of the apparent duplicate votes were cast by mail, the report found.
The report also found 8,360 voters who appear to be registered in two states and voted in both. An additional 5,500 voters were apparently registered at two addresses in the same state and voted from both, according to the PILF.
The Trump administration embarked on a similar audit in 2018 with the formation of the Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity. The commission was forced to disband after facing coordinated resistance from state officials who stonewalled requests for voter roll data. Adams, who was part of the commission, in 2019 picked up where the commission left off.
Three states sued to prevent their data from being released: Illinois, Maine, and Maryland.
The most populous states tend to have the most deceased registrants on voter rolls, the report found. New York, Texas, Michigan, Florida, and California accounted for 51 percent of all of the deceased registrants nationwide.
President Donald Trump has repeatedly criticized the potential for fraud in a mass mail-in vote election. He has instructed voters in North Carolina to vote by mail and then attend a polling place on Election Day to check if their mail-in ballot had been counted and, if it was not, to cast a vote in person. The PILF report found that 22 percent of the double vote credits in Arizona’s 2016 election were due to mail-in and subsequent in-person vote combinations.
A lawsuit against local election officials here uncovered the fact that one guy in Swissvale, PA had SEVEN registrations on the voter rolls.
Dems no longer have to depend on ‘Dead Voters’.
They have ‘Ballot Harvesting’, ‘Mail-In Voting’, ‘Same Day Registration’, ‘Provisional Ballots’, ‘No ID Voting’, ‘Motor Voter Registration ‘and ‘Early voting’.............................
The man answering the door was shocked, because the person I was asking for had been dead 16 years and was his current wife's former husband.
The DEMs won’t have to depend on dead voters, but they will continue to use them all the same. In no way are the DEMs allowing Trump to be re-elected. They are going to throw as much nonsense out there to try to further tarnish Trump’s image so that when the DEMs *blatantly* steal the election for Biden, most voters will shrug and accept the results just to stop the noise.
But this, we have to swallow without being able to criticize it.
The only thing we can possibly count on is their laziness, incompetence and stupidity will be on full display for all to see..................
As I read the methodology of the report I don't think that's true.
"...registrants in 41 states were matched against commonly utilized death records. These include New York (59,000 dead registrants) and Texas (36,000 dead registrants), for example. From those matched dead registrants, 14,608 voting credits were highlighted as occurring after respective dates of death and outside any extended early or absentee voting periods."
This addresses when the vote was recorded, not when it was made.
It would be reasonable to assume 14.5k voters died between the time they mailed their ballots and when their votes were recorded - particularly since the report states the vote recording can lag the election date.
That’s at least 3.149,000 votes for BidenTheSenile and KamalaTheIneligible, since the deceased are the DemoNaziCommie core voting constituency they each vote D at least 10 times
In Chicago, you voted Republican for years.....but once you die, you are a devout voting Democrat forever.
So do we.
We can do all that.
Let’s organize and do it.
I moved from Georgia to Florida in May.
I checked in September and was still on the Georgia rolls. I was able to unregister, but that leads me to wonder how many people are on the rolls in one or more states.
...and on the third day after the election, they rose
from the dead and sitteth on the right hand of Joe Biden...
Yes, that’s why we have so much NOISE going on! It scares and wears down people. I’m sick of hearing on the radio now, what all the left is doing. Makes me sick. Wish they would talk more about Trump and all he is doing even if they have to repeat it daily! I have to turn it off, except Rush, I just turn the volume down.
All the fake ballots are already warehoused. Thrill Neil as many as they think necessary to steal the election, especially in Pennsylvania Michigan Florida Ohio. Then with these soroznazi Obama style court orders, they’ll cast as many more as needed after November 3 to snatch any key state that haven’t already successfully stolen. Biden doesn’t hqve to campaign and he knows it hiding in his basement. The DNC ticket zero risk of losing Unless this election theft Machine Is shut down soon !
