U.S.: Pew study: Millions of voter registrations have significant errors
- 1/8 of all voter registrations in the U.S. contain errors, Pew says
- 24M voter registrations contain major errors, according to Pew
- 2.7M people have current voter registrations in multiple states
- 1.8M registered voters have one slight problem: they’re dead source
- » Is this a sign of voter fraud? Not really, Pew says. The bigger problem, they claim, is that outdated methods are being used to sign voters up. They recommend a more centralized voting system that utilizes online registration — similar to the one eight states (Colorado, Delaware, Maryland, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, Virginia and Washington) are already working on. They suggest such a system will save money by preventing duplication and cutting down on form usage.
