I'm sure you have seen where states like Florida want to purge the deceased from their rolls so they do not get a ballot to start with. Will this cover every instance? Not likely, but it would make it harder.
Please explain why making it harder to commit voter fraud is a bad thing?
It's a bad thing to libs, because then fewer liberals will get elected.
Mathguy - "Cheating in politics is bi-partisan." Assuming that's so, then why are Republicans the only ones trying to stop voter fraud.
Democrats say: nope, no voter fraud here... Oh look! A squirrel!

Uniontown has a population of 1,775, according to the 2010 census but, according to the Perry County board of registrars, has 2,587 registered voters... the turnout was 125 percent... 650 absentee ballots were cast in the Uniontown election, or 45 percent of the total... The state average for absentee voting is 3 to 5 percent, state records show.
"A Raleigh-based group devoted to reducing the potential for voter fraud presented the N.C. Board of Elections on Friday with a list of nearly 30,000 names of dead people statewide who are still registered to vote."
"A review of voter registration data for ten counties in Colorado details a pattern of voter bloat inflating registration rolls to numbers larger than the total voting age population. Using publicly available voter data and comparing it to U.S. Census records reveals the ten counties having a total registration ranging between 104 to 140 percent of the respective populations. The Franklin Center also conducted its own analysis and found that " seventeen of Colorado’s sixty four counties have registration greater than 100 percent of the US Census voting age population."
I have a possible solution -- no death certificate issued until the deceased is removed from the registered voter list. Perhaps, it can be done in person at the local motor vehicle office with a receipt that shows it has been taken care of.
The Social security knows when to stop sending checks.
The problem lies in the voter registrars office.
My neighbor sold her house and moved over a year ago. Her voter registration is still at her old house. She has to change her address in order for the county to know she has moved. The county also knows she has homesteaded another house. Why can't the county have their computers check things like drivers license records, homestead exemptions, etc. to see if there are discrepancies?
Some of the house in my subdivisions have 3 different families on the voter rolls.
IMHO voter ID is a solution waiting for a problem. Are there any numbers of convicted fraudsters vs. total voters that show this is a real problem? Or is this is just political busy work done to justify a paycheck?

The way the left objects to efforts to minimize voter fraud should tell you something.

Any numbers? I haven't found any. In my area it isn't a problem that merits news.
