I’ve done a lot of this kind of work, taking large, state databases and matching them based on names. It is very, very labor-intensive to do this well. Every match really should be examined by a human. Many names are similar or the same. I also work at the polls and, during the Republican presidential primary, saw two errors made on the voter lists just as Mr Bursey described; i.e. the voter records are not perfect. I also find it incredible that someone could (or even want to) successfully masquerade as a dead person.
