That kinda of stuff is not unusual. Somebodies relative is supporting a certain candidate. They go to mom's nursing home to help the old folks vote.
Hush though. The one's I know who do it are Republican. It matters in school board races.
Here's one of the problems. This happened in Texas
"Under current law, the only two signatures routinely looked at to authenticate mail-in ballots are the ones on the ballot application and the envelope containing the ballot itself. But if signatures on both the ballot application and the ballot are forged by the same person, then the signatures will match – even though both are fraudulent."
"Since April, elderly residents of West Dallas and Grand Prairie have been complaining about receiving mail-in ballots they didn’t request. Follow-up by the Dallas County Elections office revealed that many ballot application signatures had been forged."
"Our problem with these ballots is that someone forged names. They forged it on the ballot. They forged it on the application.
Again, if the same person forges signatures on both the ballot application and the ballot itself, then the signatures will match – even though both are fraudulent."
"There is currently no process or legal safeguard in Texas’ election code to ensure this type of forgery is routinely looked for and caught." ....sigh
because people do die.... and others will say they are this person.. and the poll workers dont know
because people do move.... and now they are registered in two places....and poll workers dont know, and people DO vote more than once
my boss brags about it all the time....grew up in Belmore (and registered to vote there)… now lives in Manhasset and is registered there too, ..brags how he can (and according to him, does) vote twice... two different towns
now is he lying or fibbing...who knows.....but I aint no freaking rat
These were not dead people they were removing, they were just people that haven't voted in some time.
We have bipartisan election boards on LI, if your anecdote is true you can report your boss and he will be subject to criminal charges. The problem isn't people voting twice its getting them to vote at all.
Election boards do scrutinize voting records, if your boss voted twice it would be recognized but that has nothing to do with people not voting.
MARIETTA, Ohio (WTAP) - After the Supreme Court decision sided with Ohio’s method to purge voters from its rolls, the Washington County Board of Elections explains how they've been instructed to remove voters in recent years.
The ruling said that it was lawful for Ohio to remove someone from its voting roles if they didn't vote in a general election, failed to respond to a notice in the mail, and did not vote for four more years. The Washington County BOE, says during the 2011, 2013 and 2015 elections, they turned away those voters.

So they assumed that their voter rolls had to be correct rather than give them provisional ballots.
Voter suppression pure and simple.
And you are assuming those folks were valid voters, which may or may not be true.
