A U.S. House proposal that seeks to clean up state voter rolls following allegations of deceased individuals casting absentee ballots in the 2020 election was introduced by Rep. Brian Babin (R-Texas) last week.
The bill, called the You Must Be Alive to Vote Act and which currently has eight co-sponsors, would withhold some federal funds to counties that don’t annually check their voter lists against death records, with the goal of purging them of any individuals found to be deceased.
