ago in norfolk virginia on a ship. i know how sec tour those ships are. what minimlitary facility is ne? a call for action. keith rogers thank you for your time today. heather over to you. in the meantime is it election fraud or a massive clerical error? north carolina finds more than 35,000 cases of double voting in. 2012 election. this after a massive review of 27 other states and 100 million voter records. thousands of registered voters share the same personal information as voters from other states. it appears to have voted in states other than north carolina. in some cases votes were cast by people who died before election
better. all those records are checked against motor vehicles and other records at the same time, so it works for everybody. e.r.i.c. is a great system that seven states pioneered for the 2012 election. we are very proud to help them do. that and what it does is compare voter records across state lines to keep up with the mobility that naturally happens in america. about one in eight americans moves in any given year. so to be able to keep one the mobility so a voter record is up-to-date at the time of the move is very important. david, that hits the p politics, we heard politicians talk about the integrity of the vote, these are the most tangible ways to make sure they are accurate. i m glad we have this political report, but isn t it also very important that we get more binding federal law on this so we have uniform rules and money backing that? well, money would also be helpful with a lot of recommendations in there to require some capital investment, things like online voter
of positive reforms that happened since this ep with online voter registration spreading to 33 states plus d.c. to more states sharing data between them to keep voter records up to date and get more voters register on to the list. that report had the impact that we hoped. finally, when the president of the united states says that you are groveling, i have to give you a chance to respond to that or i don t even know what it means exactly. are you grovel sfg. i don t know what to say about that. i certainly didn t ask to have the report cited by any political candidate. my only interest here is that the research that i and many others have done over time is cited accurately. then we get an accurate picture of what s going on in our election system and that accurate picture is our election system is remarkably secure and the republican and democratic election officials who run it all over the country work very hard to make sure only those eligible can vote but those who are eligible h
