I'm pretty sure if I looked I could find you:
1. A voter registration of a T R D* in the Detroit area in the 1970s
2. A death certificate for T R D from the 1980s
3. A record of a T R D voting in the Detroit area in the 2020 election.
That's because T R D from #1 and #2 was my uncle, who grew up in the Detroit area, and died in the 1980s; and the T R D from #3 is my brother, who also grew up in the Detroit area, and is still alive and well.
It turns out that 1) a lot of people are named after their relatives. And also, 2) a lot of people still live where those relatives lived. And, 3) a lot of those relatives, being from the previous generation, have died. Any intersection of #2 and #3 will give you the "evidence of dead people on the voter rolls" (or "evidence of dead people voting") that we've been hearing so much about.
How big is that intersection in a state with 10 million people?
(* Full name redacted, but I have a very specific T R D in mind)
- zyemuzu 6y agoYou seem to miss the point - they do not have the same date of birth. You're oversimplifying the situation and potential of fraud to satisfy your Democratic bias.
- gwd 6y agoAnd you're assuming bad faith, perhaps due to your Republican bias. The main examples I've seen on my feed are claims of dead people voting, all of which match the situation I described. If you're talking about people still registered where the DoB makes it unambiguous, then yes, we're talking about different situations.
