2016 Postmortem

(5,648 posts)One, do you realize what the odds are that even useing two data points such as full name and data of birth will result in some being purged from the voting rules erroneously?
Even if people have very common names like James Smith, they make up only a tiny portion of the population of the country. For instance I just picked up a telephone book containing over 32,000 residential customers; it contained only 3 James Smiths and each of them had a different middle initial. So there were no duplicates.
Let's say there is a voter named James H Smith on the voter roles in Miami Florida and let's say that in San Francisco there a person on the roles also named James H. Smith and he has the exact same birth date. What are the chances that it isn't the same person who has perhaps moved from Miami to San Francisco? Here are the calculations.
The ages of the US voters vary tremendously from 18 to over a hundred, but there probably aren't many centenarians voting of those so lets just say that the upper limit is 75 to be conservative. So a voter could have a birth date in any one of 57 years. With 365 days in the average year, a particular voter could have anyone of (57 x 365) 20,805 different birth dates. So the chances that a James H. Smith with exactly the same birth date as the person on the voter roles in Florida is not these same person is somewhere around 1 in 20,000. Sure in a country its going to happen, but not often at all.
If you want to make the system fool proof, use social security numbers instead.
However, in the in the vast majority of the cases, the process of using full name and date of birth is going to correctly determine that the voter has moved when duplicates are found. Again, those incorrectly singled out by the process can still vote on provisional ballot.
So again you are peddling BS! And you may want to give more thought to your posts instead of just grabbing something off of the internet.
Bottom line yet again: Either produce proof of voter or election fraud are quit pushing your lame conspiracy theories.
