there needs to be a method to clean up voter rolls so the dead will quit voting and the abuse of absentee ballots. I am sure he was able to sign up and vote in the next election.
thats called use it or lose it

Do you lose your right to free speech if you don't write your governor?
It's hard to think of a more fundamental right than the right to vote. It's a stupid way to "clean up" the voting rolls, and If they want to clean the rolls, they can do it by ways other than sending people mail that can get lost or never read. (Checking death certificates, etc.). In-person voter fraud happens vanishingly rarely in the USA. Cheers, Scott. |

right to vote sure, but that ends on death or moving, voting is extremely local

Does that happen?
Where's the evidence of large-scale in-person voter fraud? Unless the numbers are higher than the number of eligible people scrubbed for technicalities, it's swatting a fly with a sledgehammer. -- Drew |

detroit, more votes counted than on the rolls

How many?
According to this there were somewhere over 652 "extra" votes and 264 "missing" votes in Wayne County, so the total discrepancy seems to be in the neighborhood of 400-1000 extra votes in a county of ~750k. Trump won Michigan by 10.7k out of 4.5M. Ballots could be overcounted if they jammed and the voter pulled it out and tried again and no poll worker noticed and adjusted the count. Which sounds like the kind of thing that would happen in a precinct with long lines because they weren't assigned enough voting machines. I'm not seeing your clear story of voter fraud. Want to try again? -- Drew |

how many peope in ohio were took off of the rolls that should not have been? Is there a hard number?

You can Google as well as me.
I'm sure. ;-) TheAtlantic: Here’s how the Ohio system works. If a voter misses a federal election, the voter is flagged as possibly having moved. The state then sends a postcard asking the voter to return it if he or she is still eligible at the old address. If the voter returns the card, that’s it. But if not, the name stays flagged—and if the voter then does not vote in either of the next two federal elections, the voter’s name is purged. Several are suggesting that Sotomayor is telling people how to get the Ohio rule struck down again. HTH. Cheers, Scott. |

so a number of one, as cited by earlier post.

Eh?
CincinnatiEnquirer: Depending on where you live, county election officials might diligently remove thousands of voter registrations each year, documented by detailed records. Or they might insist they haven't followed through with the state-ordered process in some years, or apologize for tossing those files years ago, according to an Enquirer / USA Today Network investigation, in which Ohio reporters contacted all 88 county board of elections. They've sent out 4.6 million post cards to remove one guy? You believe that? Let's see, 4.6E6 x $0.39 = $1,794,000 for post cards. To remove one guy. Sure. Cheers, Scott. |

get me a number of actual living voters that were denied voting rights
all the handwaving, statistics and probabilities is the same argument you use against voter fraud. "Science is the belief in the ignorance of the experts" – Richard Feynman |

Read the links.

Just like you demand for me to prove voter fraud by producing actual cases I am requesting the same
Courtesy. There according to your suppositions thousands of them. Produce the actual list. "Science is the belief in the ignorance of the experts" – Richard Feynman |

I provided you many links. Including ones showing that in-person voter fraud is a negligible problem. Saying that you're "sure [Harmon] was able to sign up and vote in the next election" doesn't change the fact that he was thrown off the rolls for no good reason (he wasn't dead and didn't move). It's an unsupported supposition on your part. NPR: One of the most notorious purges took place in Florida in 2000, when the state used a faulty list of felons to remove more than 1,000 legitimate voters from the rolls. But that's OK with boxley, apparently. Have a nice day. Cheers, Scott. |

Meh.
You should know better than this. Snopes: [...] FWIW. Cheers, Scott. |

He does

a circumstance that suggested errors on the part of machines and/or human workers rather than fraud

Glad you finally agree.
