The North Carolina State Board of Elections (NCSBE) announced Monday that it has identified approximately 34,000 deceased individuals still listed on the state’s voter rolls.
The discovery was made through a comprehensive data cross-check against the federal Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) database, the same system used to verify the U.S. citizenship of registered voters.
Officials submitted 7,397,734 voter records to the SAVE system in April as part of an ongoing effort to clean up the rolls and ensure only eligible citizens can vote.
NCSBE Executive Director Sam Hayes admitted the massive number of deceased people on the state’s voter rolls caught them off guard.
Those dead people are amazing. Dead, but still able to get out and vote, which is more than a lot of living people do.
And I bet they all are registered democrats.
North Carolina records approximately 100,000 deaths annually.
If they can’t keep up, an audit of the responsible office needs doing. Maybe they just need one more GS7 office worker to get the job done and one less GS12 to deliver the news.
