Votes that turn out not to be votes, upon closer inspection.
There are things you learn, dealing with voter rolls and election data. This is one of them.
You almost can't trust what a state says about who voted or not.
-------
A voter was given credit for an election that didn't even happen yet, a civilian was the one to find it, 2 years after the fact.
A woman voted and they credited her son with the vote. Found by citizens who were looking for 2-state voters.
Voter accidentally credited with a vote. Found by citizens who were looking for 2-state voters.
2 voters got mixed together between two different counties, their histories got mixed up, and they made someone who didn't vote look like they did. Found by citizens who were looking for 2-state voters.
Lady rolls in to register, they mark her down as having voted. Detected six months later when citizens noticed a possible 2-state vote.
You can put your ballot in someone else's ballot envelope, THEY get credit for the vote, and no one notices until citizens detect a 2-state vote 8 months later.
Weeks after an election, they were scanning paper poll-books and accidentally scanned someone who didn't vote. No one noticed until citizens found it, over 2 years later. How do you know anyone else actually voted?
Actually, this county used this exact SAME reason to bless away 2 different cases of 2-state voting.
Yes, they just copy-pasta'ed the response email and changed the voter's name.
If you know who uses SURE, I'm sure you can figure out what state this is.
Training data for poll workers got uploaded to their production election database and actually credited people for votes. How many registrations were credited for votes that didn't happen? You will never know. Found by citizens, 8 months after the election.
They mark you as having voted just for showing up and they have to UNMARK you if you don't? Detected in Aug 2022 for a vote in Nov 2020 thanks to someone noticing a possible 2-state vote.
It's possible for people to sign a checklist in some manner where a different person can be credited for voting?
Merged two voters together on accident, mixing their voting histories together. Only detected years later thanks to citizens noticing a possible illegal vote.
Wrong voter credited with voting. The person who DID vote did not get credited for voting. No government agency noticed, detected 2 years later by citizens due to apparent 2-state vote.
Also, even when faced with the fact the person had moved to another state, is currently voting in another state, this state won't remove the voter from the rolls.
New voter registers, has same DOB but different sex, name, county, and party.
So of course the county just mixes them together.
The counties fix the bad merged registrations but no one fixes the bad voter history.
They play it off like a victory for finding the registration themselves while leaving the history to be found by citizens looking for extra votes, perhaps figuring no one would notice.
The daughter of the person of record actually signed her dad's envelope... but her signature matches her dad's signature?
So basically the county says the dude didn't 2-state vote, the daughter just used his envelope. Or Ballot. Or something. I dunno. The county kinda just didn't want to talk about it.
A county employee accidentally mixed two different people and credited the wrong one for voting, make it appear as the person voted in 2 states. They never noticed their data problems until a citizen reported it 3 years later.
Two totally active, valid, and distinct voter registrations existed for the same person in two different counties. Both registrations were credited with a vote in the 2020 general election. Neither the states nor the counties knew both registrations belonged to the same person until it was reported. The double votes were explained away as "just a duplication" even though no one knew the two registrations were related... and the second registration went un-noticed because the voter's bad hand-writing. Congrats if you noticed the logic problem with one vote being "duplicated" between two registrations when no one knew the two registrations were the same person.
This one is public record from GA SEB2021-084.
A woman was double registered and both registrations were credited with a vote.
Fulton Co claims the extra ballot was actually spoiled, but the voter didn't write "spoiled" on the envelope. So the extra vote was credited to the extra voter.
GA also failed to notice this woman was double registered AND one of the DOBs were wrong, because no one actually validates anything.
They claim that no actual extra votes were awarded to candidates because "spoiled was written on the outside of the Absentee envelope, the ballot would have not been counted" ... except the whole reason they claim she was credited with the extra vote is because spoiled was NOT written on the envelope.
This voter being double registered also didn't appear on the "duplicate merge list," so without citizens reporting the extra votes, GA wouldn't have likely known it existed at all.
None of us will ever actually know if votes were credited to candidates or not, but this case shows some problems.
