Plain-English Explanation for Election Commissioners & Citizens

No voter in Mississippi was registered in the year 1801 or 0001. When counties converted old paper registration ledgers into the statewide computer system in the early 2000s, records with missing or faded registration dates were given placeholder dates like '01/01/1801', and 113 records in Warren and Simpson Counties were given the street address 'DATAMIGRATION'.
