We Do See Dead People Voting

EPEC Team’s Rick Naigle has been tracking what appears to be about 57 anomalies in the Daily Absentee List (DAL) that show ineligible individuals voting. The Dept. of Elections (ELECT) removed these individuals as part of its maintenance process.

We cross-checked ELECT’s removals with the current DAL. It appears that some of the removed individuals were able to cast ballots.

EPEC Team is reaching out to registrars to understand why this is happening.

Some localities do appear to be checking. The chart below has filtered out ballots that were later placed in “deleted” status. The chart is shaded by removal codes under the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA). It lists when they were removed, the type of ballot cast, and its status (issued, or on-machine, for example).

Mobile readers can “pinch” up the image to view the charts that follow in this report.

The colors are explained to the right of the chart. For example:

Yellow = Moved out of State; Red = Noncitizens; Gray = deceased.
