I wish the reporters would do stories on modern get out the vote programs. The parties get the voter registration lists. They break them down and begin making contact by phone and precinct walkers. The information is then fed back into the party computers. Then there is analysis and the campaign continues.

Now if there are questionable registrants, investigators can search the Internet very efficiently.  Even if people are registered in others states, a search will reveal this.  This is public record so the long arm of the law can visit after the  election.  The fact that voter fraud is very isolated proves that our elections are for the most part better run than those in the 19th century and appear very clean. Still, we need to make sure the rolls are properly purged of people who move or die.

Another factor is that anyone here without proper papers want to avoid drawing attention to themselves which is what voter registration  would do.
