The following is NOT aimed at any party in particular.
There is an outfit called “VoteRef.com” that seeks to push the need for a country wide voter database, or citizen database, by daylighting current practices, current roles.
The have so far gotten about 20 states to give them copies if their voter registration data base, which they have now published in a common online database. So you can go to this database and look up someones name and see if they voted.
It allows you to sort by AGE, the oldest registered voter (so far) is 147, who registered on Dec 6, 1996 at the age of 121. Now she has not voted so no harm no foul.
Mary Ann Smith is merely 142, and she voted in 2016, 2018, and 2020.

I simply looked at age as the quickest way to validate the database. Clearly there are obvious problems with the record system. Maybe it is a simple typo in Date of Birth, but that is not the issue. In at least some states no one is looking at the data base for data integrity.
And this is dead easy. How many other problems are there? What percent if the database is hosed up?
OR is this proof of dead people voting?
It strikes me that before we take any additional serious reform measures we need to clean up our voter roles. Why would anyone not support that? Red, blue or chartreuse.
VoteRef.com is dedicated to ensuring transparent, accurate and fair elections in the United States of America. The purpose of this website is to provide public access to official government data pertaining to elections, including voter registration rolls, with a goal of encouraging greater voter participation in all fifty states.
Our system of government is based upon citizen participation. We believe the people, in effect, own this data and have a legal right to see it in an understandable and transparent form. Let freedom ring.
