🖥️🖥️ FOR A TECH AUTIST WITH TIME 🖥️🖥️

Passing this onto you, I don't have as much time as I wish I did to complete this, but I'm sure someone on here will.

I have found the API for Wisconsin's Ballot Check Service. This means we can run checks at the speed of light!

For the correct VBA techie, here's the info:

◼️ Request URL: https://myvote.wi.gov/DesktopModules/GabMyVoteModules/api/voter/search

◼️ Request Method: POST

◼️ Post Data Format: {firstName: "FIRSTNAME", lastName: "LASTNAME", birthDate: "mm/DD/yyyy"}

◼️ ContentType: application/json

➡️ Will return a JSON response that will need to be parsed and separated.

This can be combined with data scraped from the following website: https://usobit.com/obituaries-2020/03/state/wisconsin-obituaries/page/1/

This should give us the ability to find any potential dead voters from WI.

Good luck.

Buddy, I am not American so just want to know, when they say Firstname and Lastname, do you just ignore the middle name, or add the middle name to firstname or something like that?

Hey mate, I entered first and last names from the link at the bottom of the post. As for valid results, I hadn’t found any but if you check the voter reg dump that was released here the other day you should find voters there.

Okay here is all the results that I found: https://pastebin.com/5zJqPiGB

There are three types of results. Firstly the ones who are registered as Deceased and status is Inactive. Secondly the ones who are still registered Active. Thirdly the ones who have a record, but its empty and there is no indication of whether active or not.

Active: 2 records

Inactive: 10 records

Empty: 238 records

Total: 250 records

I am not sure what to make of the Empty records.

Great work!!!!

Empty statuses are people whom most likely aren't registered to vote or who have been removed from the system. I would assume Inactive would be pending removal if the status is deceased.

On a larger scale, delving into the Active registration - 2 of 250 from a March 2020 Death Notice list is pretty concerning.

So there were totally 590 entries. Other than these 250, the rest of them give error - I assume that means there were never in the system. So I am not entirely sure what the empty statuses mean. I will try running this on other months as well.
