The report revealed the highest incidence of double registrations in Florida and \u200bCalifornia, with over 37,000 and \u200c36,000 cases respectively. It also noted\u200d that certain states, such as Indiana and New York, each have more than 10,000 double registrations. \u2063The CEO of Fight Voter Fraud, Linda Szynkowicz, highlighted the risks of absentee ballots\u2062 in this context, suggesting that\u2062 individuals could potentially vote in multiple states if not properly managed. The group&#8217;s findings raise concerns about voter \u200cintegrity and the management of electoral rolls.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>A watchdog group has uncovered close to 300,000 voters registered in two or more states, including thousands of double voters.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Registrars aren&rsquo;t doing their jobs,&rdquo; Linda Szynkowicz, CEO of the nonprofit Fight Voter Fraud, told The Federalist. &ldquo;Stop telling me the voter rolls are fine.

Linda Szynkowicz, CEO of the nonprofit Fight Voter Fraud, expressed her concerns to The Federalist, stating, \u201cRegistrars aren\u2019t fulfilling their responsibilities. Don\u2019t tell me the voter rolls are accurate; they\u2019re not.\u201d According to a report released last week by Fight Voter Fraud, there are 297,856 voters registered in two or more states. Most of these individuals are registered in just two states; however, 3,112 are listed in three states and 24 in four or more. <\/p>\n<p>The report also identified 3,170 individuals who cast ballots at least twice between 2016 and 2022. While many only double-voted once, some repeated this action multiple times: 248 voted twice on different occasions; 194 did so three times; and another 180 voted four times. The findings covered all fifty states with Florida having the highest number of double registrations\u2014over 37,000\u2014and reporting that 312 people voted multiple times. California followed closely with over 36,000 double registrations and recorded instances of voting multiple times by as many as732 individuals.<\/p>\n<p>Other states like Indiana, Kentucky, New Jersey, New York and Texas also reported over ten thousand cases of dual registrations. Szynkowicz mentioned one case where an individual voted twice in North Carolina and once in Florida during the year 2020.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is an easy issue to address,\u201d she remarked. She explained that if someone requests an absentee ballot from one state but then moves and registers elsewhere without canceling their previous registration first\u2014officials might still send out the absentee ballot which could lead to potential misuse.<\/p>\n<p>On July30th,Fight Voter Fraud disclosed that over500 deceased individuals remained on Connecticut\u2019s voter rolls.Szynkowicz noted,\u201cEven with deceased people potentially voting\u2014whether through impersonation or receiving absentee ballots\u2014it\u2019s a widespread problem.\u201d Voting more than once violates federal law which can result in penalties including up to five years imprisonment or fines reaching $10k for those who knowingly provide false information regarding their identity or residency within a voting district.<\/p>\n<p>The organization utilized data from the National Change of Address system alongside state voter rolls to identify these dual registrations while confirming results through commercial data sources.Szynkowicz emphasized their thorough approach: \u201cWe don\u2019t just throw things against the wall hoping something will stick\u2014all our findings hold weight,\u201d adding that election integrity advocates may have already removed some dual registrants since they were first reported five months ago.<\/p>\n<p>Since this data does not account for those who didn\u2019t file using NCOA system,the actual figures could be much higher.The CEO pointed out,\u201cPeople often don\u2019t realize you can\u2019t be registered at more than one location.They mistakenly believe if they register somewhere else\u2014the ones unknowingly double-registered\u2014that they\u2019ll automatically get removed.That\u2019s simply not true.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Logan Washburn is a staff writer focused on election integrity issues.He graduated from Hillsdale College served as Christopher Rufo&#8217;s editorial assistant,and has contributed articles for The Wall Street Journal,Tennessean,and Daily Caller.Logan hails from Central Oregon but currently resides in rural Michigan<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":507,"featured_media":2317662,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/mailinballot.jpeg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[546],"tags":[36918,32644,36330,32645,6431],"class_list":["post-2317661","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-federalist","tag-double-registration","tag-election-integrity","tag-u-s-elections","tag-voter-fraud","tag-voter-registration"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/mailinballot.jpeg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2317661","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/507"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2317661"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2317661\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2317662"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2317661"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2317661"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2317661"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
