[Alabama Sec of State Wes] Allen launches ‘clean and accurate’ voter database

Allen said the system is already producing names of voters who should no longer be on the rolls.

“Utilizing data provided by ALEA, our IT department has identified 8,041 voters as of today, who have received driver’s licenses from other states, while remaining listed as active voters on Alabama’s voter registration list,” he said.

That’s the first component of AVID. Allen said the second involves the U.S. Postal Service change of address file.

“We have identified more than 30,000 active registered voters who have notified the United States Postal Service that they have relocated to an address outside of the state of Alabama,” Allen said.

He said the hallmark piece of AVID involves securing agreements with neighboring states to identify Alabama voters who are also registered in another state. Currently, secretaries of state from Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi and Tennessee have all signed an agreement with Alabama.

“The analysis of our voter list compared to that of Tennessee has already begun. And we have identified 8,501 voters who have more recently registered to vote or voted in Tennessee, but continue to appear on Alabama’s voter registration list,” Allen said.

Alabama is doing the heavy lifting for vote registration integrity. More in the article, but this is obviously a strong start.

Yeah, if you can get a voter roll that’s carefully followed and updated, the Dems are going to flip out.

When we moved from Maryland to Virginia, it never occurred to me that I was registered to vote in both states until I got a jury duty notice from Maryland. I straightened things out right away. I bet a lot of those 8,000 voters are like that.

Unfortunately Alabama is not the problem. So it’s red and it will stay red. Wi, Az, Mi, Pa, Ga is where we lose elections. All have rat SOS’s now.

There was an attempt by multiple states to co-operate on voter registration information but a bunch of states left over the last couple of years.

I’m sure that this is a story repeated all over the country.

My younger sister moved permanently from Vermont to New Hampshire two years ago. She filed the proper permanent change of address information with the PO, informed the Vermont town supervisor of elections of her intent to leave the state, and registered to vote in New Hampshire a year ahead of the 2022 elections. And yet, she still received a mail-in ballot FROM VERMONT to her New Hampshire address in addition to her New Hampshire ballot.

I’m all for clean voter databases.

Why don’t they just flush the thing every four years and make everyone register again? Much easier than trying to clean it up.
