24 Million Voter Registrations Have Significant Errors

1 in 8. That’s the likelihood that any given voter registration is inaccurate, according to a report by The Pew Center on the States. 1.8 million dead people are registered to vote (how many in Chicago, it doesn’t say), 2.75 million have registrations in multiple states, and another 12 million have incorrect addresses.

Much or all of this is due to government incompetence, as opposed to anything nefarious. But despite the researchers quick to point out that “they don’t see it as an indicator of widespread fraud,” the inaccuracies are proof of vulnerability to fraud, if not actual or “widespread fraud.” And it’s not like evidence of fraud itself is hard to come by.
