I'm not making excuses for this but I have always wondered, okay, someone from NC (or any state) dies. How does NC or LA or TX or any state - or at least the "voter roll" department find out about it?


In this day and age it seems like it would be easy to cross reference death certificates since they are issued by the state. Not sure how it would work if a resident died in another state.

Again, this was the entire point of ERIC.

So states using ERIC had lower numbers of dead people on their rolls, surely.

It depends on the states they're compared with. Some do a better job on their own without ERIC with highly restrictive registration laws.

Sounds like Eric is kind of irrelevant to the discussion then.

I imagine 3 million people die every year of voting age. Guessing at least 2/3rds are registered voters. So 2 million dead people on polls each year. Surprised NC doesn’t have more


Yea, and if you know that, so do scumbags who would exploit that situation. This is why mail in balloting is so F-ing stupid. Do you want your vote cancelled by a scumbag?

What are "voter rolls"? Is that people who have registered to vote or people who actually voted?

No. I just understand potential sampling bias and addressed it preemptively.

The suggestion that Eric would have solved this problem is just a cheap way for our troll friend to blame the right- sort of how he blamed Texas for blue state gerrymandering.

Eric is about as relevant to fixing the problem as Biden’s comprehensive bipartisan immigration mega bill was relevant to closing and securing the border. States just need to want to do better.

The way it SHOULD work is there is no such thing as voter "rolls." There should be an open registration 4-5 months before every presidential election. You can vote for 4 years and then registrations are purged.

I'm not aware of anything else pertaining to the government that doesn't have to be renewed. I've registered to vote in 4 states. Everyone dies. Voter registration is eternal. Thats 4-5 votes that COULD possibly be counted just for me. If a margin for fraud exists someone will find a way to take advantage.

That’s not a bad idea. You could also easily delete issued death certificates from the registration database in near-real time.

It’s not though. When they send out voter registration confirmations and get returned mail, they can and are supposed to clean the rolls.

Counties that like fraud don’t.

They way it should work is the hospital/funeral home/coroner should be required to inform the federal govt of a death.


They already do. They inform the Social Security Administration. SS checks are stopped, and banks are informed and those accounts (if in single name) are frozen.

That agency should be REQUIRED to inform all other agencies of said death.


Yep, that's what's needed. And all State agencies as well, but there might be some legal issues there? But since those voters can vote in Fed elections, there should be a pathway.

Seriously? Have you been in a coma and missed all the fraud of federal dollars being discovered?

And even worse if you look at Pet Bernegger’s research and lawsuits he’s filed in Wisconsin the ERIC system is being used for phantom votes ie voter fraud
