Several months ago we had a bit of a dispute in Pamlico County over clearing our voter registration rolls of voters who were deceased or had moved. I argued that we must be very careful who we remove.
Last Tuesday a voter turned up to vote, but encountered a problem. The voter, who was very much alive, had been removed from Pamlico County's rolls on the basis of information received from the State of North Carolina reporting the voter's death.
Reports of the voter's death, it turned out, were greatly exaggerated.
An example of why we need to be very careful about sources. Even official sources may turn out to be erroneous.
