State Police investigating possible voter fraud

The Virginia Republican Party claims about 40 people are registered to vote here in Montgomery county—and in other states.
The party says it was able to identify the people by running Virginia’s register voter data against 12 and a half million records of absentee data from Pennsylvania, Georgia and North Carolina.
They found that a total of 226 people hold absentte ballots in those states and Virginia.
The dual registration comes as no surprise to the county’s registrar.
Randall Wertz, the Montgomery County Registrar says, “There are a lot of students that could take opportunity to be registered in 2 localities and be able to vote twice because of the way the system is set up.“
That system is set up like this: each state has its own registration system—which don’t communicate with each other.
That makes it possible for people to register in more than one state - simply by not telling one state that they are already registered in another.
Although Virginia’s system can’t communicate with other states - it does prevent a person from registering in localities within the commonwealth.
Some say voter fraud could be prevented with the use of a national database.   
But since there isn’t one—the party is taking this case into its own hands. 
Mike Wade, who ran the data, says, “We will be following this project into the spring and we will be able to tell you everyone that voted in another state and in virginia and we will prosecute them to the full extent of the law.“
It’s a felony to register to vote at more than one address and to vote more than once.
Both are punishable by up to 5 years in prison..
Whether it happened in this case—is yet to be determined
According to this e-mail from the secretary of the State Board of Elections, the case has been turned over to state police.
