And yes if you only use a persons first and last name that name is going to turn up often in other states. But if you use the entire name combined with date of birth (as you described in another post), the possibility of a erroneous match (one where it is not the same person) drops to almost zero for a particular person. And again, that why we have provisional ballots. Maybe until a better way of clearing the voter rolls can be instituted in every state, AA leaders should also get the word out that if your name is no longer on the voting rolls, ask for a provisional ballot.
18 Million Americans move every year. Another 2.5 Americans die every year. Together that is 22% of the US population. Something must be done to clean up the voting rolls. Are there better methods, yes. Certainly the use of Social Security numbers to make matches would drop the odds of improper matches to zero, but not all state voting rolls contain SS#'s.
In the mean time the Crosscheck system by it very nature is not a method of keeping massive numbers of people from voting unless there is proof that it is criminally misused and there is absolutely is no proof of that.
Again, quit misleading people with your conspiracy theories.
