25. But urban myth!

A lot of folks think provisional ballots are only processed if ... Well, perhaps never, perhaps only if the race is close, perhaps only if they are for sure from the correct political party, etc.

They're often the ones that think voter rolls should never be purged. So my uncle John, who died in 2008, should still be on the rolls where he lived (in every place that he lived, actually) unless he took steps to remove himself. Like that ever happened.
