The Voter Reference Foundation has issued the following press release:
DOWNERS GROVE, IL— VoteRef.com, a website dedicated to voter and election data compiled by the Voter Reference Foundation (VRF), added Alaska to the public, searchable site.
As the 15th state added to the database, Alaska will join Colorado, Connecticut, Idaho, Georgia, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Wisconsin.
Full transparency of election records and results is needed to restore faith in our elections process. The work being done by VRF continues to highlight the need to ensure accurate voter rolls are being maintained, and to provide the public access to these rolls so that they may search the data and report errors to election officials.
The process of reviewing certified election data in each state begins with a comparison of the record of ballots cast as reported by local election officials with the voter history compiled by the state for the 2020 election.
Discrepancies in this comparison have been found to be as low as 42 in North Carolina and as high as tens of thousands in other states — with more data coming in each week. VRF will continue to add to the database as they receive reports, with the goal of completing all 50 states in 2022.
In Alaska, the discrepancy is 3,326.
State | Discrepancy
Alaska | 3,326
Colorado | 439
Connecticut | 37,256
Georgia | 3,787
Idaho | 11.147
Michigan | 74,135
Montana | 1,896
Nevada | 8,952
New Jersey | (37,944)
New Mexico | 3,844
North Carolina | (42)
Ohio | 22,425
Pennsylvania | 41,524
Virginia | 63,984
Wisconsin | (3,033)
“With Alaska’s discrepancies in the thousands, we can see why a site like VoteRef.com is so important,” said Gina Swoboda, Executive Director of VRF.
“By providing the public with access to the nation’s voter rolls, and illuminating discrepancies in the data, VRF is making the public aware that there is much work to be done to ensure the voter rolls are accurate and up-to-date,” she added.
