<The Colorado Secretary of State is under fire after mailing postcards to dead people and non-citizens, urging them to go online and register to vote.> Again "register to vote" does not mean the dead person or non-citizen got verified and voted. <and then many of them follow-up and become registered voters and they get their ballot in the mail and can vote in our election,"> After they register to vote and are verified then they get the ballot. And any ballot is still verified before vote is valid. Now from USAtoday (and not USSAtoday) about Absentee ballot applications usatoday.com Recently, in part of a mass mailing of absentee ballot applications in Michigan on May 19, it was found that applications were being sent to dead people, the Detroit News reported. But experts said the mailings aren’t a cause for concern and can actually help the state update its voting rolls. Tracy Wimmer, a spokeswoman for Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, told the Detroit News that forging a signature is a crime and is “rarely attempted” and that people can mark the ballot as “moved” or “deceased.” By doing so, the state is able to improve its voter list. The National Conference of State Legislature's site says, "When the ballot is returned to the election office, election officials have a process for examining each and every signature and comparing it to other documents in their files that contains the voter signature – usually the voter registration record." The signature match is done by election officials who are sometimes assisted by technology and working in bipartisan teams during the process. In some states, individuals go through training to analyze potential voting fraud. If a discrepancy is found, voters are offered an opportunity to provide more verification before election officials decide not to count the ballot. -Arun
