> Colorado does signature matching and ballot tracking. Don't know about Colorado but many other states have been sending ballots to dead people as well as people who are not resident anymore. The potential for fraud is huge

The signature matching would be the first line of defense against that. They would also be notified of deaths by the department of health and the social security administration. Broadly speaking though, whenever potential cases of fraud of investigated, very few end up being substantiated and the fraud that is committed is caught up front. https://apnews.com/article/2022-midterm-elections-voting-government-and-politics-presidential-299b03156144b12c0298184498f07958 https://apnews.com/article/2022-midterm-elections-voting-gov... https://www.rmpbs.org/blogs/news/colorado-noncitizens-deceased-voters-elections https://www.rmpbs.org/blogs/news/colorado-noncitizens-deceas...

Is your claim that the social security administration sends a death notification to the deceased person's voter registrar? https://www.ssa.gov/dataexchange/stateagreements.html https://www.ssa.gov/dataexchange/stateagreements.html

    That is what is stated by the Secretary of State in the PBS link above. “we get information when Coloradans pass away from two spots… the Department of Public Health and Environment and also the Social Security Administration.”

  That kind of argument is open to criticism of survivorship bias.

    Sure maybe and it still never seems to be proven on a substantial level. The Heritage foundation has an agenda to prove voter fraud and even going by thei number, it appears to be a 1 in every million vote level event. Far more legal votes are stopped by existing laws than illegal votes. https://www.brookings.edu/articles/how-widespread-is-election-fraud-in-the-united-states-not-very/ https://www.brookings.edu/articles/how-widespread-is-electio...
