I hope this is a matter of not purging the roll upon deaths or people moving away.

And 185% voted for Obama.

Sounds like someone isn't current with updating the voting registrations.

Is there an explainer on how these percentage figures were produced? Which documents were contrasted to come up with both sides of the equation? Didn't see any explainers on the website. Hence, I question the credibility of these figures.

When only 20% of the population vote anyway...well...:idunno:

Alive is important when voting.

Deaths and transients probably caused this. Surely no bogus people.

Perhaps the Kentucky records would be more up-to-date if some of these county clerks spent more time on voter registration and less time denying same-sex couples marriage licenses.

Is it the county clerk's responsibility to maintain voter registration lists?

That would be my guess.

I think it is Sec of State but don't quote me on that.

You can register to vote in KY online/mail or at the county clerk's office. If all records are kept in Frankfort, then why is this list county-specific?

That has to come with a LOT of help from the county clerks office, I don't see how it couldn't.

 

Several times while working the polls and having the register in front of me, a co-worker has commented "she's dead, died last year...he's dead, been dead for a while" etc. We take note of that and alert the clerk. Also have people move..."Jane Smith moved to Virginia last year". I'd say it's a very tedious job.

 

But yes you are correct that ultimately it falls at the Sec of State's feet.
