Interstate Voter Registration Crosscheck Program

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Interstate Voter Registration Crosscheck Program, for short Crosscheck or Kansas Project, is a computerized database that was launched in December 2005 by the Kansas State Secretary of the Interior, Kris Kobach. The database contains the voter registrations of 100 million voters from approximately 30 US states. The purpose of the database is to track down voters who have voted on the electoral roll in more than one state. The US states of Kansas, Nebraska , Iowa and Missouri originally took part in the program . The results of these data comparisons, which are carried out annually, can be called up by the participating countries. Crosscheck is not the only project in the United States that seeks to identify voters with multiple registrations in different states, but it is the program used by most states. There are also states that participate in several projects. The program is programmed and maintained by the IT department of the state of Kansas. Crosscheck has been widely criticized in the past. Many consider the annual cleaning of the electoral roll to be illegal based on the data from Crosscheck. Voters from the group of minorities and the destitute would be particularly affected by these purges. Crosscheck and similar programs would also distort the results of federal elections. Donald Trump would have won his election through the cross check system, among other things. Others are in favor of the program. It would detect and prevent election fraud.
