Using federal database, Florida identifies 207 non-citizens on voter rolls, 8% of total checked

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements Program (SAVE) database as well as personal admissions from illegally registered voters have confirmed 207 non-citizens have been on Florida’s voter rolls. The confirmed names will be provided to county supervisors of elections shortly after supervisors complete their federal training on how to use the SAVE database, which they are expected to do this week.

It appears the State of Florida and the counties are close to finishing their rough swim upstream and finally implemented a process for the identification of non-citizens and prompt removal from the rolls.  After the federal government dragged its feet for over a year before providing access to the SAVE database and DoJ trying to stop the process in its embryonic stage, this much more accurate process is finally becoming a reality.  Yes, and what was the difference in vote totals in 2000?   537.

North Carolina Board of Elections reviewing potential deceased voters on rolls

The N.C. Board of Elections was already reviewing most of the 27,500 names of people that a Raleigh-based anti-election fraud group says remain registered to vote after they died.  The Voter Integrity Project delivered the names to the elections board on Aug. 31, saying it was concerned about the potential for voting fraud. The board began reviewing the list last Tuesday and determined that it had almost 20,000 of the names from a 10-year audit of data from the state Department of Health and Human Services, said Veronica Degraffenreid, the board’s director of voter registration and absentee voting.  More than one third of those 20,000 names were already listed as inactive, meaning they were on track for removal from the voting rolls, Degraffenreid said.   Link to full story
