See, I'm not particularly worried about dead people voting, because, well, they're dead, and I don't foresee dead people being more or less likely to vote democrat or republican. Fraudsters would still need to have the deceased's name, address, date of birth, and SSN, and even still know that the recently deceased is registered to vote, and yes, these are all things that CAN be sleuthed out, but that's a whole lot of effort to go through when you can just get fewer people to vote for the other guy. Similarly, I have concerns about stripping voting and representation from incarcerated citizens when we have 24% of the world's prison population, Uighar concentration camps notwithstanding.
Please explain to me how removing someone from the voter roll because they moved house is an attempt to remove ineligible voters from the register, ‘cause I ain’t seeing it.
I never made that argument.
There are incidents where non-citizens end up on the rolls. Felons in states where felons aren't currently allowed to vote. I also mentioned dead people, specifically.
It's not enough to simply check the voter rolls in a system so disorganized.
Small numbers of votes
Becker says the number of noncitizens who end up on the rolls is relatively small and the number who actually vote is even smaller. Pennsylvania officials estimated that the noncitizens they identified cast 544 votes from 2000 through 2017, out of 93 million overall votes cast.
How many countless thousands would you keep from voting out of spite to stop these 544 votes?
