I saw that article over on GOPUSA. I can bet a LOT of media outlets will do all they can to sweep that under the rug. Possibly even fox! Originally Posted by garhkal

My wife is a candidate for state legislature. We have both been active in doing door-to-door campaigning.
Early in the campaign process, this state's 'Secretary of State' sent us a bunch of links explaining the process. The voter rolls here are never 'purged'. Originally Posted by RetiredSubmariner

As reported by the National Review's Deroy Murdock, who did some numbers-crunching of his own, "some 3.5 million more people are registered to vote in the U.S. than are alive among America's adult citizens. Such staggering inaccuracy is an engraved invitation to voter fraud."https://www.census.gov/data/tables/time-series/demo/voting-and-registration/p20-580.html
Murdock counted Judicial Watch's state-by-state tally and found that 462 U.S. counties had a registration rate exceeding 100% of all eligible voters. That's 3.552 million people, who Murdock calls "ghost voters." And how many people is that? There are 21 states that don't have that many people.
yup that is a problem! Originally Posted by dilbert firestorm

ANd that's part of the issue. Whether military or not, people move, Re-register to vote in new state X, but NEVER get taken off the voter rolls in their PRIOR STATE...
THAT NEEDS to change. Originally Posted by garhkal
So you don't see potentially 3.5 million registered voters MORE THAN there are adults of voting age, to be a problem?? Originally Posted by garhkalI linked the census data above. According to it, there are not more people registered to vote than there are eligible adult citizens.
