| [NCSpin] A national watchdog alleges that the Guilford and Mecklenburg county board of elections are in violation of the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA) and has threatened to sue the counties and the NC State Board of Elections if they do no comply by early March. Judicial Watch, a conservative foundation that seeks to promote “transparency, accountability and integrity in government, politics and the law,” notified the boards in letters dated December 11. |

| #8 There is a lot of this around the country. In Colorado it's the wealthy resort counties. People register in their timeshare address and vote while also voting in the home state. |

| #6 No, make everyone re-register, in person - with proof of citizenship, every 4 years. You renew your dirvers license you can re-register to vote. And ban Motor-Voter. |

| #4 Make it a legal requirement to "unregister" when you move before you can register in another jurisdiction. It's done now with drivers' licenses and nobody squawks.. |

| #3 It may have to do with a transient nature of the population. People arrive and register to vote. They stay for a while and then move on without canceling their registration. Eventually their will be more registered voters than the voting population |
