You don't really believe that do you? Those are BS numbers that once investigated will be shown to be anything other than people voting in two states. Dig a little deeper and you will see.
Interstate Crosscheck's track record isn't anything to brag about. They found 35k voters in NC that matched the name and birthdate of someone in another state that voted as well. They found 765 voters in NC that matched name, birthdate and last four digits of SS numbers with someone that voted in another state. Are any of these people one and the same AND voted twice? Maybe there are a few but I doubt it.
These matches are one of several things: not the same person at all; the same person that voted in one state and their name hadn't been purged from the records of the other yet; or a father and son, one in each state. There are a lot of people with the same and similar names.
There are a lot of human errors in recording information both during registration as well as when they vote. There are also default setting used when information isn't available. Birthdates are sometimes entered using the defaults as are social security numbers. Social security number are ten digits not four so a last four match isn't a SS match. There is also the statistics of large numbers. They looked a 100 million voters.
Only a tiny fraction of the Interstate Crosscheck names in their past work have every ultimately been found to be people committing voter fraud. Heck I went to poll worker training a few weeks ago and found that they had the incorrect birthdate entered for me. I've been registered in the same precinct for 37 years and it was correct during the last election cycle. They are transitioning from paper and pen to online data and I guess they keyed in the wrong numbers.
In short the findings of Interstate Crosscheck aren't findings at all and thus shouldn't be seen as proof of anything. They are the first step of an investigation into the matter and only after each of them is looked at can any conclusions be drawn.
