No fraud? Pennsylvania county settles lawsuit over voter rolls that included nearly 1,600 dead people
[BIZPACREVIEW] Allegheny County, Pennsylvania — home to the city of Pittsburgh and its surrounding suburbs — has settled a lawsuit directing officials to clean up voter registration rolls.

County officials settled the suit on Monday with the Public Interest Legal Foundation, which focuses on election integrity, after the Allegheny election manager and three board of elections members were sued over registration rolls containing duplicate entries and the names of persons who had died, the Washington Free Beacon reported.

Representatives of the elections watchdog said researchers discovered almost 1,600 dead registrants, nearly 7,500 with erroneous data, and more than 1,500 who were older than 100 years — including 49 who were born in the 1800s.

The lawsuit accused county officials of failing to maintain up-to-date registration rolls as is required by federal law.

In the settlement, the county agreed to turn over records related to dead registrants as well as issue letters to people with incorrect birthdates on file, examine records of people aged 110 or older to see if death notices have been missed, and to accept "list maintenance leads" from the group over the course of the next year.

The suit forcing Allegheny County to fix its voter registration lists comes just six months before the presidential election where Pennsylvania figures to be a battleground state. In 2016, President Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
only won the state with fewer than 45,000 votes.

The president and general counsel of the election integrity organization, J. Christian Adams, said the county should get credit for agreeing to fix the "serious problem with elections there."
