A local story out of Nebraska discusses the voter integrity initiative of Secretary of State Gale.

Gale said his office is participating in a voter integrity project to prevent possible fraud. He said they are looking to identify categories of voters where the risk of fraud is higher.  The goal is to enhance the authenticity of each voter registration. He said there are about 16,000 voters who have registered on their honor due to no license or Social Security number (SS#). He said their goal is to upgrade those registrations. If the voter
still does not have valid driver’s license or SS#, then other means need
to be used to verify the registration. Another tool used to clean
up voter registration lists is the National Death database. By using
just the last four digits of a person’s SS#, he said they can
cross-reference their list to eliminate people who have died.  Gale
said Nebraska’s not overly susceptible to fraud but raising the bar on
authenticity will reduce that possibility even further.
