Steven stock has been looking into the issue since the last president ial election. Lets put this in perspective. There are nearly 18 million registered voters this year. Back in 2012, we cross checked the voter rolls and found 25,000 potentially dead californiaens still on the voter rolls. We revisited that same list again this year to see if anything has changed. 83 potentially dead people were listed as dead during the 2012 president ial race. This year we found only one name listed on the death reggestry but still remaining on the voter rolls in Santa Clara County. Four years ago contra costra county had nearly 120 names that matched the death index on the rolls. And we actually found eight of those people who actually voted or more likely someone voted in their name after the record showed they died. Again, this is a very, very small perspentage of eligible voters. They say it would not tip a national or statewide election but could have an effect on a small town race somewhere and it points to the need to keep up with voter rolls and to modernize systems throughout this state. They told us they looked through the names we sent them and follow up next year. Thank you very much. If you have a tip for steven or the Investigative Unit, give us a call or you can always send an email to the unit nbcbayarea. Com. All that rain is making a difference.
