So Texas just did this: “Of those scrubbed from voter rolls, the state said more than 457,000 — nearly 40% — are deceased, …” [1] But, you’re highly confident that they are the only jurisdictions with similar voting roll issues? And that none of these have been voted? How do you establish your level of confidence? 1: https://www.houstonpublicmedia.org/articles/news/politics/elections/2024/09/03/498371/texas-has-removed-a-million-people-from-the-voter-rolls-why-are-we-finding-out-now/ https://www.houstonpublicmedia.org/articles/news/politics/el...

Because the name of every person who votes is recorded (at least in my state, and I'm pretty sure that's every state to detect double-voting). That's how, incidentally, the parties know to hound you if you stop showing up. It should be very straightforward to compare the purged names with death certificates with voting history; a state government should have access to all that data, though it may cost money to collate it. Did Texas do that? What did they find when they did? I feel like if they'd found something we'd have heard about it by now. Dead people still being on the voting roster has never been a problem because, in practice, the amount of fraudulent voting under another person's name is always low. Do we have reason to believe that has changed?
