Yea. Not only that, when you hear about "dead people voting", this is often the explanation.
The other big chunk is people who have the same or a similar name. Like "It says here David Jones died five years ago, but David Jones voted today. Suspicious?" "Dude, I'm David Jones Jr. The David Jones who died was my dad, David Jones Sr. Dick." Or whatever.
I am a IIIrd, the third person down my male line with the same first, middle, and last name
I'm the 5th with our exact initials, too
One time, while applying for college, I was told I'd already used my GI bill allotment back in '55. Uh..... That was grandpa, and he died over 30 years before I was born, how did you mix us up?!?!
(Also, I was never in the military and this was entirely irrelevant to me they just brought it up as something I couldn't do)
I read this as “Lerd”
This guy, what a Lerd.
Did you have the same address or something?
Also the thousands of people who die on election day, a non-zero number of which voted earlier that day.
