The Kentucky Secretary of State announced Tuesday the state removed over 33,000 dead people from voter rolls.
Secretary of State Michael Adams made good on his campaign promise to clean up Kentucky’s voter rolls by removing 33,696 dead people as of Dec. 14.
“There is no legitimate interest in dead people being registered to vote,” Adams said. “Our administration has made strides in cleaning up the voter rolls, and Kentuckians should have confidence in our election system.”
Kentucky also removed 4,252 voters convicted of felonies, 3,435 voters who moved out of state, 586 voters who asked to de-register, and 242 voters judged mentally incompetent.
