>We do need better systems in this country for removing people from voter rolls when they move or die. Here in PA, the voter registration form asks if you were previously registered and, if so, at what address. I believe that if that data is provided and the previous address is in state, the county is required to inform the other county. But I'm also fairly sure that the other state is rarely notified when the previous address is in another state. I know that my kids remained on the rolls here long after they'd registered in other states. I also know that they didn't vote here, they voted there. (And I'm sure that no one else walked in and voted as them because at the time, the first person you'd deal with at our polling place had known them since they were born.)

Yes. It should be relatively simple to do this at the state level.
However... let's look at the cost-benefit ratio facing someone who wants to use dead or moved people to rig an election.
If the county doesn't know who's dead or alive- still here or not here- how would the would-be rigger find out?
I suppose it could be done but how could someone determine how many there potentially were before deciding whether or not to proceed?
I suspect that any cost-benefit analysis would show that the good old fashioned way of buying votes of real people would yield more rigged votes per dollar.

I suppose that the country can't be in such bad shape if people have time to imagine frauds that will probably never take place.

One of my favorite bosses and mentors gave me one of the cardinal rules of controllership:
A control should never cost more than you'd stand to lose if you didn't have it.
That is to say, you don't guard a piggy bank with an aircraft carrier.
