A Vote or Two or Three or Four

The Pew Center on the states indicates that around twenty million registered voters in the US.....have a problem.  It might be a small problem....it might be a major problem.  They admitted that 2.7 million are registered in at least two states.  And there's at least 4k people....registered to vote....in four states.  So far, they haven't found anyone who was registered in five states.

Their comment over this issue is that folks aren't de-registering as they leave a state.  Having been around the US via the Air Force....I can attest to the fact that no one ever spoke of a law or a necessity to de-register.  I've probably been registered to vote in at least five different states since 1977.  One would assume that you'd drop off the register after two or three years, but to be honest.....no one has ever sat down in front of me and stated the law of any state over this issue.

The Pew guys were careful.  They don't want to admit that twenty million votes might be loaded with fraud.  They didn't want to get into dead voters....because that's an entire book by itself.

So we are left with this mystery of sorts.  These 4k folks registered in four states.....are they voting?  Are we getting an extra 12k votes in November elections across the entire nation?

You'd think that some political party would want to rush out and fix this.....but you barely get a rise out of the Republicans and I can't recall a single Democrat over the past decade getting excited over voter fraud.

The bottom line?  The Pew guys simply admitted that we have a problem, but not much else.  And I doubt that anything comes out of this.  And for you guys registered in four states?  Why stop there......you might as well go for five and six states....to establish a record.
