Every state needs to set up a system to track changes to individual registrations, to validate these changes, and to alert voters when changes have been made. My analysis of PA voter registration records shows why this is absolutely necessary. votesleuth.org/voter-registra…

Our voter registration systems are NOT secure. This is a serious problem, and now is the time to begin addressing it in earnest.
