https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voter_impersonation_(United_States)#Reporting_and_investigation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voter_impersonation_(United_St... > According to a Newsday report in 2013, since 2000, there had been 270 cases of 6,000 dead people previously registered to vote in Nassau County, NY, who supposedly cast ballots at some point after their deaths. However, the paper explained: "The votes attributed to the dead are too few, and spread over 20 elections since 2000, to consider them a coordinated fraud attempt. More likely is what investigators in other states have found when examining dead voter records: Clerical errors are to blame, such as a person's vote being assigned to a dead person with a similar name." Thus, when presented with a list like this, the first assumption must be to check how many are due to clerical errors.
