On to voter fraud!
But those numbers likely don't indicate
anything nefarious like widespread voter
fraud. It's actually pretty common for
voter rolls to be a mess. In fact,
Judicial Watch threatened to sue 11 other
states in April for the same reason.
A 2012 Pew Research study found around
2.75 million people were registered to
vote in multiple states and more than
1.8 million deceased people were still
registered to vote.
Oftentimes, people don't realize they
need to notify local voting officials
when they move or when a loved one dies.
But outside of a few isolated incidences,
those extra numbers don't generally lead
to voter fraud.

A: There have been just four documented cases of voter fraud in the 2016 election https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2016/12/01/0-000002-percent-of-all-the-ballots-cast-in-the-2016-election-were-fraudulent/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2016/12/01/0-...
- mc32 9y agoAL voted 30%+ for Hillary. I doubt you had 30% Googlers feel comfortable declaring affiliation with Trump or Republicans in general. Carter won in '76 and it's been within +-10% R/D till 2000. So not that lopsided as you might suppose.
