We come from Germany - where there is unlikely to be a big issue, as citizens have to be quite careful about registering where they live in one place only.
I suspect the data in the UK (where I originate) would be pretty messy. The voting lists there are a free for all, I reckon!
Mass voter fraud not even a "problem" in the United States. Anyone preaching this as a problem is going to be a right-wing extremist. And they're the same people who commit voter fraud.
Duplicate voter data is clearly a non-issue, even according to their numbers. 400K+ duplicates with 61 cases of voting twice -- 122 votes. While there are the few and far between elections where this would make a difference, such a low number is a non-issue.
just to be clear - the 61 duplicate voting cases were only for Ohio and Pennsylvania - the 400k duplicate profiles were across all 7 states we looked at.
Indeed there is certainly not mass voter fraud. We were glad not to find that, but tbh surprised that we found any at all. Originally we were only going to look for duplicate profiles - it didn't even occur to us to look for actual fraud.
But why not make it a complete non-issue? It would be so easy to fix this data so there were no duplicates, then there would not even be any accusations like there were in 2020.
What I want to create is complete trust in the data to avoid the... bickering later.
/edit - as the poster below mentions, the 61 were just the ones that were manually confirmed. There were 1000 potential cases.
for me the numbers look different. The 61 cases were only the manual verified so the problem is much bigger. Also I see it as a big problem that the states only look at their own data but not across states. I think the data shows that there is a problem with messy data but it does not show that is pro democrats or republicans.
