.@lkd5210 At issue are wildly inaccurate voter rolls, which have the potential to alter the presidential election in November. To further public understanding [we] publish this article, an interview with J. Christian Adams,

.@lkd5210 Well, vote by mail is the most vulnerable form of election – that’s undeniable. And both sides of the political spectrum have said so. J. Christian Adams,

"There’s no doubt that vote by mail is a vulnerable form of election, and for Nevada and Michigan to be doing vote by mail, they’re inviting problems," J. Christian Adams,

Have you found a willingness on Detroit’s part to fix their voter rolls? "Oh, certainly not. That’s part of the story. When this data were presented to Detroit they dug in, and they didn’t want to do anything. They still haven’t done anything." bit.ly/2TozAKI

No state should be going to #AutomaticMailBallots when they have the kind of problems on the #VoterRolls that #Michigan does. Ballots may be going out in duplicate, triplicate, or quadruplicate to the same people if they do automatic vote by mail. bit.ly/2TozAKI

The state has already failed to cross-check; otherwise, they would have caught these problems. We are the first people – @PILFoundation – to catch these problems. Nobody else had ever caught them. The state didn’t catch them. Detroit didn’t catch them. bit.ly/2TozAKI

.@realDonaldTrump #Michigan #Detroit "They don’t want to fix them now if they know about them. [What] you have is an intransigent stubbornness to fix the problem." @lkd5210

@nytimes "That’s why I don’t read The New York Times. So, The New York Times doesn’t, hasn’t done what we’ve done," J. Christian Adams, @PILFoundation @ElectionLawCtr

"#DoubleRegistrations and triple in Detroit – that’s not surprising at all, but it is, unfortunately, the state of play on the voter rolls in Michigan right now." @lkd5210

We took their voter rolls and found people who were registered multiple times simultaneously. The same people. We found one person, for example, who was registered to vote with their birthday listed as 1823 – that is even before #Michigan became a state. bit.ly/2TozAKI

What we did is we took the voter rolls in #Detroit, and we bounced them up against public information, private information, commercial databases that enabled us to determine that they had sizable numbers of dead people on the rolls. bit.ly/2TozAKI

LKD: Christian, how many of these states and counties do you think exist out there with errant voter rolls?

Adams: Well, The Public Interest Legal Foundation has developed a database of 42 states, and we’ll be issuing a report on the scope of the problem. bit.ly/2TozAKI
