Working with some other guys in that thread, I'm grabbing all of the dead people data from 1900 on and we wrote an API wrapper for Michigan's vote check. Tomorrow we'll be able to run through thousands of names programmatically. Fuck the dems.
Where are you getting the dead people data from though? That seems like it would not be public. Sure there are obituaries in local newspapers and so you could infer name and zip code maybe but not birth date, not to mention it would be super hard to systematically scrape this.
I could pretty easily take on at least some portion of this work for another state. I am on mobile at the moment, stuck waiting for an oil change but I will try to catch up on twatter soon.
since it's all html with incrementing filenames I'm looping through and grabbing everything from 1900-1999.We've already got a parser for the data it's just taking a while to download it all.
Is that data different from the death data downloadable here? - http://ssdmf.info/download.html
They seem to be run by the same people.
Also if you want to share the code for the API checker I can spin up a few VMs and try hitting the voter registration lookup for a few other states as well.

Should we be doing this for other states also?
