Report: U.S. Voter Rolls Include Names of 1.8 Million Dead 
-----------------------------------------------------------



A new report has found deep flaws in the U.S. voter registration system,
including the presence of more than 1.8 million dead people still listed
as active voters. Researchers with the Pew Center on the States also
found that 24 million active voter registrations — that’s one in
every eight — are either invalid or inaccurate. Meanwhile, an
estimated one fourth of U.S. citizens who are eligible to vote are not
registered.
