Mmmhmm. The researchers paid by Trump’s team had “high confidence” that 12 ballots were cast in the names of deceased people in Clark County, Nev., and believed the “high end potential exposure” was 20 voters statewide — some 1,486 fewer than Trump’s lawyers said. https://www.washingtonpost.com/elections/2023/03/17/trump-fraud-report-2020/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/elections/2023/03/17/trump-fr...

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?
