What if non-existing voters actually exist?

I don't know who in King County Elections Department has clearance to update the voter database or how many people have clearance. I do know that if they have to purge the inactive names from years ago, it has not been done yet.

I happen to be a letter carrier that is still seeing non-existing names with non-existing addresses actually getting voter registration information.

My question is: When these cards are sent back as "No Such Address" to king county elections, what is the procedure as to how these returned cards get handled properly? If these names keep finding their way back to the registration listings, there must be a person or persons manually entering the old listings in the database. This has been going on for years and years.

I do understand that there may be some typo errors, but even those typos take a place as a new registration in the database don't they?

Just wondering.

1. That does sound like a problem and an expensive waste of money to KC residents. To KCE's credit, I did check to see if a neighbor who had been deceased this year was taken off and the database does show the registration to be cancelled. Amazing, after all the poor work done previously.

3. I don't trust them to get that fixed. I just wanted to let people know that this problem existed.
