North Carolina’s Board of Elections found that tens of thousands of
registered voters from the state have personal information matching that of
registered voters in other states, and appear to have voted in states other
than North Carolina in 2012. In some cases, votes were cast under names of
individuals who had passed away before Election Day.
The review searched databases in 27 other states and 101 million voter
records for information such as matching names, dates of birth, and Social
Security numbers.
The review found that 35,570 North Carolina voters from 2012 shared the same
first names, last names, and dates of birth with individuals who voted in
other states. Another 765 Tar Heel State residents who voted in 2012 had the
the same names, birthdays, and final four digits of a Social Security
number as voters elsewhere.
Meanwhile, the election board’s executive director, Kim Westbrook Strach,
told lawmakers that 81 deceased North Carolinians apparently voted in 2012
as well. While some appear to have submitted absentee ballots prior to their
death, she said “there are between 40 and 50 who had died at a time that
that’s not possible.”
Strach offered a series of proposals for the state to consider to better
secure its voting practices and reduce fraud, including on-site digital face
-recognition or electronic-signature technology. |
