#1 Few of the 800k would be at the same address. A Bol lot submitted for a voter than has moved outside their precinct would be invalid. They would have to vote provisionally in their new precinct. A more interesting list would be voters inactive for 15 years that voted in 2020 or 2022.

#2 A more interesting list would be voters inactive for 15 years that voted in 2020 or 2022.

They probably voted in 2008, 2012 and 2016 too.

The cemeteries in northeast Illinois are full of voters, and have been for years.

#3 Still have my E-copies of the GA. Voter rolls and still amazed how many voters either lived at the same address, or lived 6 months in Motels, or their addresses fell into a black hole right after the election.

What is more amazing is our Sec. Of State and Governor both could not see a problem with more votes cast than registered voters in Metro-Atlanta. Or the illegally printed Abrams Ballots found in a rental ca, and a dozen other issues.

#4 The dead can be forgiven for having no idea of what they are voting for.

#5 No sitting governor is incentivized to call into question the system that elected him or her.

#6 The state of Ohio was sued some years back over failing to clean up their voter rolls, and lost. So they turned my favourite state treasurer loose on the problem. Since the 2018 US Supreme Court ruling supporting their method, over 500,000 duplicate, dead, moved, and imaginary names have been removed from the lists, with another nearly 100,000 to be deleted at the end of this year — and with each round of purges Ohio has gotten redder and redder.

Should Illinois actually clean up those 800,000 names, or a significant portion thereof, it will be interesting to see if the state follows Ohio’s pattern.

#7 Take Chicago out of Illinois, take Philly out of PA, take Atlanta/Fulton County out of Georgia, and you have to wonder how red those states might be. O.k., arguably Illinois is a lost cause, but it does make one wonder.

This all goes back to what former Overstock CEO Patrick Byrne said after the 2020 elections, that you only need to swing 6 out of the 660 counties in the United States to swing national election results--Maricopa (Phoenix), Las Vegas, Milwaukee, Detroit, Phiily, and Fulton County (and its mystery water leaks).

#8 ^ Josh did a good job. One of the things about Ohio that I like is that early votes are scanned at the time of receipt. A fake ballot is not useful unless it can be assigned to a voter record that has not voted. If all votes have to be processed immediately and not stored under a table in a footlocker. Early processing limits the cheating to known fake voter records. All of that cheating would need to take place at the county level. Pushing absentee ballots out to the precincts has its merits.

#9 This is normal. No really, this is so normal it's expanding.

#10 Regarding the comment that the cemeteries are full of Democrat voters, there's an old joke that goes "My father was a lifelong Republican until he passed away. Since then he's always voted Democrat".

#11 The cemeteries in northeast Illinois are full of voters, and have been for years.

The story is told of Lyndon Johnson one night during his first campaign for Congress in a graveyard with his staff taking names from headstones. One staffer came to a headstone and complained that it was overgrown with moss to the point where he could not read it. Another staffer told him to skip that headstone.

"Now hold on," says Lyndon. "Scrape the moss off that headstone. That man has as much right to vote as anyone else in this graveyard."
