True the Vote Identifies 136 Counties with Bloated Voter Rolls

You know how much I admire the work of True The Vote. They are a political force against voter fraud, and have provided resources and seminars across the country to help local folks clean up their voter rolls.

Last week they published this news:

136 Counties in 21 States Have More Registered Voters than Adult Residents

HOUSTON, TX. — August 27, 2015: True the Vote (TTV), the nation’s leading voters’ rights and election integrity organization, today announced its latest findings in an ongoing effort to reduce outdated records in America’s voter rolls.

136 counties in 21 states were given notices of potential violation of the National Voter Registration Act of 1993, requiring election officials to make reasonable efforts to maintain voter rolls. Counties in receipt are demonstrated to have more than 100 percent voter registration at the time of the 2014 Election and have not indicated any significant effort to address the problem in the months following.

“It’s important that engaged voters keep the pressure on election officials to ensure that outdated or ineligible records are quickly addressed,” True the Vote Founder Catherine Engelbrecht said. “Bloated voter rolls hurt everyone. Deceased voters aren’t removed, duplicate registrations aren’t revoked and the records of voters who’ve relocated aren’t corrected. Low verification standards, like absence of voter ID, add to the confusion. Bloated rolls create the ideal environment for identity theft and voter fraud.

“With the U.S. Justice Department still refusing to set a national standard and enforce federal maintenance requirements, we’re now starting to see entire states come close to showing over 100 percent registration,” Engelbrecht added.

You’re shocked, I know. Imagine what this implies – that there are states which are close to having 100 percent of eligible voters registered. Not in a million years.
