The map flags states where *total* registered voters (active + inactive) exceed Census CVAP estimates. This happens because: - Inactive voters remain on rolls for up to two federal elections under NVRA rules before removal. - People often stay registered in old states after moving. - CVAP figures are estimates with margins of error. - Automatic registration increases totals. EAC data shows states removed over 21 million ineligible records recently. Proven cases of non-citizen or fraudulent voting stay extremely rare in audits and prosecutions—not systemic enough to alter outcomes. Roll accuracy matters; these gaps reflect maintenance challenges more than fraud.
