Let's start with Michigan then I'll work my way to the other states. I need a link to a database, webpage, directory, etc where I can see a list of dead people. The more the better. This is the information I will need to look them up (in Michigan):
FirstName, LastName, BirthMonth, BirthYear, ZipCode
Those are the data fields I need at a minimum. If it has extra fields that's fine too, I can just ignore the extra fields.
If there is a way to get this data in JSON or CSV format that would be amazing but I doubt that.
I will build the tool using a puppeteer.
If anyone wants to help maybe you can start
- linking to death directories for each state
- linking to the voter lookup pages for each state
- if you know how, start building a similar tool for other states.
- listing out what data is needed to search for a voter in each state (above is just for Michigan)
Once I have the tool I will release the source code and results for all to see.

Not sure where the original text went. They wrote scripts to strip the data needed from mi voter info and social security death index. They had a list of about 300 that they needed confirmed.
Pretty sure Michigan has already been done like this.
By hand. Not automatically. They've found a few results by typing in some names manually and getting lucky. My goal is to use code to scan the entire directory of dead people against the entire directory of voters which I suspect could return hundreds if not thousands of verifiable results.
Not sure if anyone has done this but if so I can switch to another state.
