More BS from Cons still salty about losing the popular vote
"
State and local election organizers say that while they tend to keep good track of voters who move or die within their state, they are not always able to track when registered voters move out of state or if they die outside of a given state.
Globe reported in November, Massachusetts voter rolls listed 4.5 million registrations at the time. But an untold number — potentially as high as 1 million registrations — should have no longer been on the books.
Eventually such individuals are removed from voter rolls because of processes in place to identify and remove out-of-date registrations. But there can be a lag time of several years, and in the meantime more registrations become out of date.
A
2012 Pew report called voter registration systems in many states inefficient and said they have failed to keep pace with technological improvements, creating inaccurate lists of registered voters.
The study estimated that about 24 million, or one in every eight, voter registrations nationwide were no longer valid or “significantly inaccurate.” That included more than 1.8 million deceased individuals listed as voters and 2.75 million people with registrations in more than one state.
Trump, in
an ABC News interview Wednesday, cited that Pew report as evidence of his claim of widespread voter fraud. But the Pew report makes no suggestion that large numbers of people cast ballots fraudulently.
In fact, the author of that study,
David Becker,
told the New York Times and
others in 2012 when the study was released — that the poor record keeping was not evidence of fraud at polling places."

For people who cry so much about evidence, they are happy to believe any BS conspiracy theory WITHOUT evidence to further their fantasies.
