832 people 112 or older have voted in NC...is this not voter fraud?

There cannot be this many people living in this state that are this old and voted.
79% in person and 2 from overseas....

If a person doesn't indicate their birthday on their voter registration, the default entry is 1/1/1900, which would show them as 112 yrs old.

I do not understand the conflict in your answer and the fact that one's birthday must be listed in order to register.

According to information posted on the www about this mass population of elderly 890+ , there aren't that many people alive on on the planet?!? Which counties reported these facts? Unbelievable, will be watching closely

Guilford county is the number one with 353 112 year old so far.

I just emailed them asking about their population.

When a person onestop votes and registers for the first time when they do it, their birthday gets defaulted to 1/1/1900 until their registration form is processed. That's why there was like 10K "108 year olds" in 2008, and there'll be a bunch of "112 year olds" in 2012.

Beverly Rush is right - you must provide your birthdate in order to register to vote. I am also happy to inform you that same day registration (SDR) does not work the way Jacob has described - you must provide your birthdate at that time too and they input it into the new record at that time.

The state board of elections "says" that this incorrect data came about when some counties used the default date of 1/1/1900 for those voters who were already registered, but at the time of registration were only required to provide their age. When the change was made to require birthdates mm/dd/yyyy, instead of contacting voters they defaulted to this very poor choice of a date.

The deeper, underlying problem is that the data the SBE has is incorrect and they do nothing to fix it. They have been aware (and approved of the incorrect data in the firstplace) and have refused any attempt to correct it as a result the data is worthless - what other problems can be found in NC's voter rolls? Dead people, felons, duplicate records - the list could go on and on. The least we should expect is a state board of elections striving for clean voter rolls - not the same old retort that we shouldn't expect perfection...

"have refused any attempt to correct it as a result the data is worthless"

I strongly doubt they have 'refused any attempt to correct it', when it is much more likely that they simply haven't corrected it completely. My skepticism of your claim is doubled when you imply that the voter rolls are 'worthless' because of an error rate around 1/10th of 1%, which is asinine.

This is possibly true on the default however, they are to correct the information when the person comes in to vote. The fact is THEY DON'T. People get paid to do a job half a**ed.
