Reports Reveals Vast Discrepancies in Voter Records

The Takeaway

A new report by the Pew Center on the States reveals that one of every eight active registrations is either invalid or inaccurate.  Along with voters with registrations in multiple states, their findings revealed that approximately 1.8 million dead people are still listed as active voters. Equally troubling is the discovery that one in four people who are eligible to vote –  some 51 million people –  are not registered.   Adam Liptak is the Supreme Court correspondent for our partner The New York Times.
