Glossary term
Record linkage error
Definition
False matches produced when two databases are joined on name and date of birth — the technical cause behind most “duplicate” and “dead voter” claims.

Dead voters claim
The recurring allegation that ballots were cast in deceased people’s names — almost always traceable to roll maintenance lag or record matching error rather than voting.
Double voting
Casting more than one ballot in the same election — rare where rolls are cross-checked, and frequently over-counted by naive name matching.
