DATA CRUNCHERS AND WEAPONIZED AUTISTS GO CRAZY!!! Pass this onto 4chan...
Michigan voter registration data as of October 2020 - https://michiganvoters.info/ Raw voter registration data - http://69.64.83.144/~mi/download/20201012/
Social security death index raw data - http://ssdmf.info/download.html
Download the data, look for dead people in the voter registration!!! I am writing a Python script right now to look for matches between the death index and registered voters. All hands on deck! This could be YUUUUUUUUUUUGE!!!! Don't let the Dems steal this election!!!!
Hack the planet
Making good progress... found 996000 matches between social security death index and registered voters in Michigan...
Most are false positives however. A lot of people with matching names but different people. So now I'm looking to filter by birth year as well.
Edit: After filtering by birth year (i.e. Name and birth year of dead person matches name and birth year of registered voter) we still have 241088 matches between death index and registered voters in Michigan. I suspect many of these are still false positives.
I will now try filtering by first 3 digits of SSN for people born in Michigan. This may miss out on some people (people not born in Michigan but moved there later) but will cut down on false positives.
Edit: So... I've found a list of ~77000 registered voters in Michigan with the same name and year of birth as a dead person in the Social Security Death Index Database... who also have a SSN with the first 3 digits indicating they were born in Michigan (362-386). This isn't "conclusive evidence" per se as there well may be false positives in there, but there are likely many dead voters in there. Unfortunately I can't think of any ways to filter further, considering that the voter registration data doesn't give me the birthday, only the birth year.
Here's the link to the CSV file of those people for anyone who wants to do more sleuthing - https://gofile.io/d/JckUr6 I've also compiled a CSV file of 3556 registered voters in Michigan which match the full name and birth year of a dead person, and are over 100 years old. (This includes our good friend William Bradley! - https://thedonald.win/p/11PpBIFClU/x/c/) https://gofile.io/d/hRb0hl
For those who don't trust download links I've included a hastebin link where you can view the data directly. This includes registered voters matching the name and birth year of a dead person and are over 110 years old. http://www.hastebin.net/ivirilohim.py The other files are too big to be uploaded to most paste sharing websites.
BTW all of these voter registrations are valid, I look the people up here - https://mvic.sos.state.mi.us/Voter/Index and they all come up. You don't know the exact birth month so you have to guess each month one by one. Other than that we have the birth year and zip code.
Maybe you're already aware..
The guy who provides the death list for download has a version after they stripped the more specific data (actual birth day as well as zip code where they received benefits).
There is another site which has that full data but not downloadable, but pedes and autists are apparently scraping that site and will have it done soonish.
Point being, I guess, don't worry about the false positives, because there will be better data available soon which you can probably integrate your existing code with
see here https://thedonald.win/p/11PpBJOyOa/x/c/1ASFqprmFF
Sounds good. I'm not as familiar with the web scraper stuff, good that someone seems to be taking care of it.
The death data which I downloaded does include birthdays and death date. The problem is that the Michigan voter registration data I downloaded only has birth year, not birthday, so I can't match it.
Anyways, I think I'm going to take a short break for now but it's good to see people in the community getting stuff done!
Great info; this gives me the idea that I could focus on Wisconsin, since their vote search page only asks for name and birthdate
https://myvote.wi.gov/en-us/MyVoterInfo
Yea its a bit confusing, the digits at the end include the birthday and death date. See the 2nd to last page for info - http://ssdmf.info/blah-blah-blah.pdf
Are you writing some sort of API to send requests on the Wisconsin site? That'd be great since although I could probably hack together something with Python's requests library its been a while since I've messed with that stuff and I'm not too familiar with it.
Thanks for the pointer to the pdf, I very well could have missed that.
I'm stuck on mobile for a few more hours so I can't dig in yet.
Best case would be open the developer tools in chrome/Firefox when submitting a request, and see some http request with GET or POST arguments for the name and birthdate. Then just do that with python requests like you say, with the possibility of speedup by using multiple threads or doing it in the cloud.
I've noticed though that if I leave the tab for a while it says my session is expired or something and I have to dismiss some dialog. There is no login/signup, but this could mean any sort of dumb stuff to have to work around. Like, they generate or request a new key periodically and expire old ones.
They could have some sort of rate limiting of requests from one such session, and so on.
Worst case is that they have a bunch of weird stuff in the browser that is hard to replicate so then the best bet might be to run a headless browser like Selenium for example and automate via that. I'm suspicious already because they have this crappy spinner animation that comes up during the request that makes me think it could indeed be messy.
Do you have a script that is checking your list of persons over 100 against the voter index?
Yes this is a file of voters born before 1910 (over 110) - https://gofile.io/d/CQVMT9
I can modify it to check for people over 100 as well.
Edit: Here you go, all the voters born before 1920 (over 100) - https://gofile.io/d/2SOCuL
12515 voters.
But do you actually have something running that data through https://mvic.sos.state.mi.us/Voter/Index and trying each birth month variation and seeing if anything comes up?
That's the smoking gun right? If a record shows up on that site for someone who is over 110?
If you don't have a script like that, I can start writing one
No I don't have that yet. If you could work on it that would be great. I know some others are working on something similar.
Edit: I think u/bear__aware and u/SayonaraShitbird are working on it. I might have a crack at it later today when I have some more time.
Ok cool
Depending on what u/bear__aware and u/SayonaraShitbird say, I'll get stuck in asap (want to avoid pedes overlapping on the same things)
Do you think you can do data sets like these for other states too? I'm happy to follow along behind you: you do the datasets and i'll shit out scrapers to see what sort of hits we can get
My understanding of the general plan:
People have also talked about looking at obituaries but when it comes to relatively curated/official/structured data the Social Security Death Master File (DMF) is the one. There is a published instance here:
http://ssdmf.info/download.html
But this one is lacking zip codes, so certain voter search pages are ruled out, e.g. Michigan
But Wisconsin takes just name and birth date, so I was going to try and figure out how to query their site programmatically. If that proves possible then we could begin right away with the above dataset.
The other way of getting the DMF data is this page https://sortedbybirthdate.com/small_pages/1903/19030101_1001.html Which is a different edition of the data which has zip codes, SSNs, etc. u/SayonaraShitbird was working on scraping this, and mentioned that some ppl in Fleccas' twatter reply threads had already developed parsing for this format of the data.
Then that is enough to begin querying MI's site. I don't know if anyone has automated that part.
Are group chats possible on .win like on reddit? Or is there another option? Otherwise we're going to have a hard time keeping track I think. I'm already forgetting the usernames of everybody who has expressed interest in this so far.
Anyways like I say, I will be looking at automating querying for WI, until further notice.
Ok well I'll see what I can do about building one for MI and running u/100percentdeplorable data. I think that data has all the fields needed to run a check
For WI have you seen this code for checking their voter search API?:
source modified from: https://thedonald.win/p/11PpBKVzL7/reporting-in-you-guys-checking-w/c/
Just saw another snippet in there where a pede has modified it to scale a bit better so it can run faster: https://thedonald.win/p/11PpBKVzL7/x/c/1ASFvT5uni
Are you on TheDonald Discord? That's probably the best place to move this for faster communication
I've looked far and wide for Wisconsin and can't find anything. The only place it is available is here - https://elections.wi.gov/clerks/svrs/voter-data where you can buy the data from the state for $12500...
Couldn't find it shared publicly online or on github or something.
This Github repo sums up what is data is available pretty well - https://github.com/pablobarbera/voter-files/blob/master/README.md
I'm just going to go ahead and mark Michigan red then.
Do you need someone else to automate the checks? Or something else? I'm slow at it, but I generally get what you're scripting.
All help is appreciated. If you want to try and write some code up and verify as well that'd be great. If you want to help find more sources of data, that's appreciated too. It's 3AM for me but I've got MAGA energy! We cannot let our election get stolen!
Import pandas Import numpy
/# Go to fucking work pede.
Why?
Wow you guys! Go for it! Good luck!
Any update on your work yet, or did you guys finally crash and go to sleep. Sending peeps here from new thread, talking aboud doing the same thing. They might be able to help out. Very curious what you come up with. Keep us posted please. I have a feeling this could become key to solving all these mystery ballots suddenly turning up. You got this guys!
Yes, see my comment above. I don't see how I can filter it further for now without more data, but we have some good data so far.
Awesome, guys. Great work!
How do you do fellow HackerZ
Great!! Go for it!
Need any help? Can dev, just point me in the right direction and I'll do it!
