Glen Englram was stunned. After winding down his private sector career, almost four years ago, he and his wife, Ruth, bought their Western North Carolina retirement home and began the next phase of their lives. But they briefly thought they were back in Chicago when they learned that three unknown persons were registered to vote from their address, more than three years after the couple had signed their mortgage and moved into their new home.
Glen and Ruth learned of the three “phantom voters” at their address after the Voter Integrity Project – NC demonstrated their newest search tool, called the Phantom Voter Project. and located at, www.PhantomVotes.org.
“We developed the site to empower citizens by helping them identify long-lost voters who are still registered from addresses at which they no longer live,” said Jay DeLancy, Director of the Voter Integrity Project.. “Once a phantom voter is found, the site will even auto-generate the paperwork that the Election Board needs for their removal.”
In early July, VIP-NC reported finding 739,041 registered North Carolina voters whom the state can no longer find.
“The Phantom Voter Project not only helps people find such former occupants, years after they move away,” said DeLancy, “but it also helps current occupants detect any voters who were fictionally registered,and never removed.”
I must have a photo ID to fly, drive a car, purchase alcohol, purchase certain OTC medication, and for so many other mundane tasks, it is difficult to believe that making voters register is such a strange and divisive concept to people. People who oppose voter registration tend to be Democrats….why is that? If you are visiting this web-site, you probably know why they oppose it, because it will reduce voter fraud and hurt Democrats.
How many voters are registered at this address: 233 Rogers Street Waynesville NC 28786
