An election watchdog has found that there may be as many as 350,000 dead individuals on voter rolls across 42 states.

The Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF), an Indiana-based election integrity group, conducted a nationwide study to identify the hundreds of thousands of deceased individuals on voter rolls. During its analysis, the group also found that nearly 40,000 likely duplicate registrants "appear to have cast second votes in 2018 from the same address."

Just five states—New York, Texas, Michigan, Florida, and California—accounted for 51 percent of the total number of deceased individuals on voter rolls, according to the group. PILF further found that nearly 15,000 registrants were credited with voting after death in the 2016 and 2018 elections.

"Our voter rolls have not, and will not be ready for a mail-focused election this November," said Logan Churchwell, communications director for PILF. "State court decisions in swing states allowing for relaxed deadlines, signature verification, and harvesting now sit on a foundation of bad voter data."

"In Pennsylvania, your mis-delivered ballot to the hands of a bad actor will now have extra time to get turned in and not face the traditional standards for signature verification," Churchwell said. "The only way to absolutely avoid this nightmare is to vote in person."

The analysis comes as states across the country prepare to handle a surge of mail-in voting for the November elections. Numerous problems plagued mail-in voting during the primary elections this year. Nevada's largest county sent out more than 200,000 mail-in primary ballots to the wrong addresses, while reports also indicated that 84,000 mail-in presidential primary ballots cast in New York City were disqualified.

In the year 2020, how hard is it to have a national voter database? Hey...when you die, and your death certificate is issued, your voting record is disabled! Hey...when you show up to vote in Florida on election day, and it says you are registered in Georgia - you F’ed up. But to give you the benefit of a doubt you are issued a special ballot that may or may not be counted, depending on how the difference between the winner and the loser. If the election is too close to call, you come and prove you are a resident. You don’t - and its tossed. Vote in Florida and then try to go vote in Georgia - it says you already voted today.

Without the political will, impossible. We don't even know how many illegal aliens are in the country.

From the article:

In Florida this had to be absentee ballots with forged signatures, since Florida requires a government issued ID.

The Dems took the state of Florida to court in 2018, and tried to get judges to let absentee ballots with invalid signatures (signatures don't match the signature on file) count. They lost.

Unfortunately they conduct voter registration drives.

The feeling is that they make copies, before turning the forms in, forge requests for absentee ballots, and trace the signatures from the copied registration form to the absentee ballot.

Strange how many homeless registrants can live at one address, and apply for absentee ballots.

If the voter actually shows up on election day, they are informed they have already voted, and given a provisional ballot, and can vote again.

That's why there should be no absentee ballots, unless the applicant can proved they are infirmed, or will be out of state or country on election day.

With early voting established , there should be no need, except for the reasons above, for absentee balloting.
