NC election board finds 35,570 double voter registrati
North Carolina’s Board of Elections found that tens of thousands of registered voters from the state have personal information matching that of registered voters in other states, and appear to have voted in states other than North Carolina in 2012. In some cases, votes were cast under names of individuals who had passed away before Election Day.
The review searched databases in 27 other states and 101 million voter records for information such as matching names, dates of birth, and Social Security numbers.
The review found that 35,570 North Carolina voters from 2012 shared the same first names, last names, and dates of birth with individuals who voted in other states. Another 765 Tar Heel State residents who voted in 2012 had the the same names, birthdays, and final four digits of a Social Security number as voters elsewhere.
Meanwhile, the election board’s executive director, Kim Westbrook, told lawmakers that 81 deceased North Carolinians apparently voted in 2012 as well. While some appear to have submitted absentee ballots prior to their death, she said “there are between 40 and 50 who had died at a time that that’s not possible.”
Westbrook offered a series of proposals for the state to consider to better secure its voting practices and reduce fraud, including on-site digital face-recognition or electronic-signature technology.
Donald Hank Comments: And here is why NO law or Constitutional amendment is likely to make a tangible difference in the way our outlaw government does business.
ReplyDeleteThere are election laws in place that are intended to prevent this wholesale fraud. BUT there is also a federal law that forbids a polling officer to require a photo ID.
Anyone who thought that, by passing such a law, our government was not blatantly inviting this kind of criminal mischief was criminally brain dead!
But judicious nullification of such bad federal laws by states can put an end to this horrendous abuse. The mantra must be:
WE WILL NOT COMPLY!
