Add another state to the list of those purging their voter rolls from dead, deceased, and ineligible voters.
Officials announced last week in a press release that North Carolina’s State Board of Elections has removed 747,000 people from its list of registered voters within the previous 20 months.
The State Board of Elections said in the release that the majority of those stripped from the rolls were deemed ineligible to register because they had moved within the state and did not register their new address or because they did not participate in the past two federal elections, prompting an inactive status.
Other reasons for removal included death, felony convictions, out-of-state moves, and personal removal requests, the board said.
States continue deleting duplicate, dead, or ineligible voters from their rolls. This allows for accuracy in the election booth and the results.
For Missouri, this ensures that each citizen has one vote, no more or less. The votes of many dead will not cancel out the single vote of the living.
