One in 8 U.S. voter registrations faulty: survey

One in eight U.S. voter registrations is invalid or Reebok Anaheim Ducks Bobby Ryan jersey markedly inaccurate, the result of an outdated and inefficient registration system, a Pew Center on the States report said on Tuesday.

More than 1.8 million dead people are listed as active U.S. voters, and about 2.75 million people have active registration in more than one state, according to the research by the non-partisan think tank.

U.S. electoral systems "are plagued with errors and inefficiencies that waste taxpayer dollars, undermine voter confidence, and fuel partisan disputes over the integrity of our elections," the report said.

Largely paper-based voter registration "has not kept pace with advancing technology and a mobile society."

The report ahead of the November general elections comes as states across the country, in contentious moves, have tightened voter identification requirements.

Voter ID laws were passed in eight states last year, and the Virginia legislature is debating bills to stiffen ID requirements. The Justice Department blocked South Carolina's ID law in December, arguing it discriminated against minority voters.

The Pew report did not identify voter fraud as a problem, saying the inefficiencies could lead to "the perception that they (elections) lack integrity or wholesale NHL jerseys cheap could be susceptible to fraud."
