The issue in the letter “No excuse for not requiring ID to vote” regarding ineligible voters can be easily proved or disproved by a comparison of voter databases with Bureau of Vital Statistics’ death records. Both are considered to be public records and can be easily compared to see if anyone “voted” after they died. A simple comparison of the date of death with the last time an individual actually voted will prove if we have a problem. I don’t know if this is a problem, but we can’t fix it if we don’t know for sure.
