U.S. Has 3.5 Million More Registered Voters Than Live Adults

Elections: American democracy has a problem — a voting problem. According to a new study of U.S. Census data, America has more registered voters than actual live voters. It's a troubling fact that puts our nation's future in peril.
The data come from Judicial Watch's Election Integrity Project. The group looked at data from 2011 to 2015 produced by the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey, along with data from the federal Election Assistance Commission.
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."
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.
Nor are these tiny, rural counties or places that don't have the wherewithal to police their voter rolls.
California, for instance, has 11 counties with more registered voters than actual voters. Perhaps not surprisingly — it is deep-Blue State California, after all — 10 of those counties voted heavily for Hillary Clinton.
Los Angeles County, whose more than 10 million people make it the nation's most populous county, had 12% more registered voters than live ones, some 707,475 votes. That's a huge number of possible votes in an election.
But, Murdock notes, "California's San Diego County earns the enchilada grande. Its 138% registration translates into 810,966 ghost voters."
State by state, this is an enormous problem that needs to be dealt with seriously. Having so many bogus voters out there is a temptation to voter fraud. In California, where Hillary Clinton racked up a massive majority over Trump, it would have made little difference.
But in other states, and in smaller elections, voter fraud could easily turn elections. A hundred votes here, a hundred votes there, and things could be very different. As a Wikipedia list of close elections shows, since just 2000 there have been literally dozens of elections at the state, local and federal level decided by 100 votes or fewer.

Hmmmmm...
That number sounds familiar.

If people are going to use the "people have died or moved since the last Census", should we do the Census more often than every 10 years?

Obama said there wasn't a smidgen of voter fraud.

This is not some big and surprising revelation, nor is it close to a smoking gun. Until it's proven that these People actually voted, it will be explained away as people dieing and local government being poor and slow with purging them from the list of registered voters.

How much of this is because of the Civil Rights Act restricting states from trimming the rolls?

Mortality in US
So......people dying and not instantly removed from a voter poll means Trump is still Putin's private cock gobbler.
Notice that nowhere in the wall of bullshite you posted does it say that more people voted in a district than lived there.
All this says is that there is no proof. Looks like this fella did a shitty job of research.

Sounds like California and New York have been put on notice.

With current technology I would support this. Cut it in half to 5 years.

Leftist FedGov Judge just today struck down Texas Voter ID law on grounds that it discriminates against minorities.
The Leftist judges are making it up as they go along.

Agree.
We should let the Voting Commission finish its work so we can get a clear picture.

That's why we should let the professional investigators in the Voting Commission finish their job.

No doubt that ruling will be appealed.

That's amateurish junk.
