Every past ballot matched a real voter. Here’s what’s left to tidy up.
We audited all 2,112,460 active & inactive voter registrations and 25,911,769 cumulative ballot records through October 26, 2026 — including +835,571 ballots added across 2025 and 2026 and 82,461 new 2026 registrations across all 82 Mississippi counties. Every ballot traced to a registered voter.

Four things every official and voter should know
- 01
Zero orphaned or phantom ballots across 25.91M records.
Adding two more years of elections increased verified ballot history from 25,076,198 (through 2024) by +835,571 ballots in 2025–2026 to 25,911,769 total records. Every single ballot matched a registered voter.
- 02
Most raw “anomalies” are dorms, care homes, and Jr./Sr. families.
Before scoring any county, we filtered out campus dorms, military bases, and nursing homes (6,835 voters), apartment complexes (3,035), 6,146 Jr./Sr. households, and 4,346 homes on streets like “Marshall Place.”
- 03
County Election Commissioners are already processing movers — and our 14 checks protect both voter access and clean rolls.
Under Mississippi law (Miss. Code Ann. § 23-15-153), County Election Commissioners hold statutory authority to maintain and remove records from the voter rolls. Of 13,622 voters with an out-of-state mailing address, 11,178 (82.1%) are already marked Inactive on the federal NVRA clock. Alongside 2,444 active out-of-state movers and 1,249 active–active duplicate pairs, our 14 non-partisan checks also protect 36,071 voters who cast a ballot in 2024–2026 while marked Inactive and audit 356 split-ballot precincts.
- 04
64 of 82 counties sit in the normal range; 18 have a clear checklist.
University and military counties mostly need apartment and dorm unit numbers (682 records). Fast-growing suburbs mostly need large precincts split (123 precincts over 3,000 voters).

All 82 Mississippi counties mapped across three task areas
Drag to rotate, click any marker to inspect that county, or open Full Screen 3D. The sky-blue net shows the normal baseline for a county's population; marigold-amber vertical stems and distinct marker shapes highlight extra cleanup work.
What Is a “Manifold” and How Do I Read This 3D Map?
In everyday terms, a manifold is simply a smooth curved surface—like a topographical terrain map or a stretched safety net. Because large counties naturally have more apartments, more mail forwardings, and larger polling places than small rural counties, a single flat threshold would unfairly penalize larger counties. The sky-blue baseline net curves upward with county population to show what is normal for a county of any size.
- 01 · The Sky-Blue Net
Normal Baseline (64 of 82 Counties)
Counties marked with a neutral circle (●) sit on the sky-blue net. Their address, mail, and precinct counts are normal for their population size.
- 02 · Vertical Height Stems
Extra Cleanup Work (18 Counties)
When a county rises above the net on a marigold-amber dashed stem, the height of that line shows how much extra cleanup work remains compared to peers.

Ordinary explanations, set aside first
Basic database queries flag college dorms, nursing homes, and fathers and sons who share a name. We separate those first so election officials only review actionable records. Gray was set aside; marigold gold is what remains.

Do these issues travel together?
A score near 1 means two measures rise and fall together across counties; near 0 means no pattern. Where raw counts would simply reflect population size, we compare rates per 1,000 voters.
Do counties with more movers also have more duplicate records?
No clear pattern once county size is taken into account. Treat these as separate tasks rather than expecting one fix to solve both.
0.05correlation (−1 to 1)Do bigger counties have more crowded addresses?
Raw counts mostly track county size. That is why this report separates campuses, care homes and apartment complexes before showing single-family homes.
0.85correlation (−1 to 1)Do counties with more Inactive voters have more crowded addresses?
No clear pattern once county size is taken into account. Treat these as separate tasks rather than expecting one fix to solve both.
0.05correlation (−1 to 1)Do counties with crowded precincts also have more out-of-state mail?
No clear pattern once county size is taken into account. Treat these as separate tasks rather than expecting one fix to solve both.
-0.10correlation (−1 to 1)Why the map uses three directions instead of one score
Looking at addresses, mail moves and precinct size separately shows each county's own to-do list.

What we looked for, and what we found
Every check below runs identically on this public report and inside the logged-in Marigold App Scanner. We include both voter-protection checks (preventing eligible voters from being turned away or handed the wrong split-district ballot) and list-maintenance checks (tidying out-of-state moves, duplicate records, and missing unit numbers).
Check 1 · Addresses with 8 or more voters
2,449 addresses (33,035 voters) have 8 or more registrations. After setting aside 58 campus, military, and care-home sites and 122 apartment complexes, 2,269 single-family homes (23,165 registrations) remain for county canvass review. Exact house numbers are withheld for privacy:
- Single-family home in Water Valley· Yalobusha County38 voters (37 active)
- Single-family home in Jackson· Hinds County38 voters (38 active)
- Single-family home in Fulton· Itawamba County37 voters (31 active)
- Single-family home in Clinton· Hinds County36 voters (35 active)
- Single-family home in French Camp· Choctaw County36 voters (35 active)
- Single-family home in Clarksdale· Coahoma County36 voters (26 active)
Check 2 · Dorms and apartments missing a room number
Searching for “HALL” also catches “MarshallPlace.” Matching whole words removed 4,346 street-name false alarms, leaving 682 campus and apartment records (502 active) where adding a room or apartment number prevents returned mail.
Check 3 · Out-of-state mailing addresses
82.1% (11,178 of 13,622) are already marked Inactive under federal rules. 2,444 active voters need an address-confirmation postcard. Top destination states:
Check 4 · P.O. boxes typed in the home-address field
380 records statewide (212 active voters). A physical street address is required to assign a voting precinct; P.O. Box numbers are withheld for privacy.
Check 5 · Legacy paper-migration placeholder dates
5,607 records carry default dates (such as 1900, 1801, or 0001) or single-initial names from early digitization. These are clerical artifacts, not improper voting.
Check 6 · Same-ZIP duplicate registrations
6,146 Jr./Sr. and Roman-numeral family households were protected first. Within the same 5-digit ZIP code, 1,539 exact First+Middle+Last+Suffix matches appear at different addresses; 1,249 pairs have both records Active.
Checks 7–8 · 2026 deadline surge & large precincts
82,461 voters registered in 2026 through October 26, 2026, peaking on 10/05/2026 (5,541 single-day registrations; all-time peak 13,731 on 10/05/2020). Statewide, 123 precincts exceed 3,000 voters and 27 exceed 5,000.
Check 9 · First-digit accounting test (Benford’s Law)
Precinct registration sizes across Mississippi (82 counties) are tested against Benford’s first-digit distribution (registration chi-square 9.16; 2024 turnout chi-square 30.12). Bounded administrative precincts naturally cluster around 1,500–4,000 voters per polling place.
Check 10 · 25.91M ballot-history & same-day credit verification
All 25,911,769 historical ballot credits across Mississippi’s voting history file (including +835,571 ballots added in 2025–2026) cross-referenced with 0 orphaned records. Only 64 duplicate same-day primary scan lines appeared in 2026.
Check 11 · District completeness & the Panola County SUP/SUPR discovery
81 Mississippi counties store County Supervisor District in column SUPR, whereas Panola County (24,013 voters) stores it in SUP. Automatically coalescing SUPR || SUP eliminated 24,013 false alarms and isolated the 7 active voters statewide genuinely missing a Supervisor/Election Commissioner district, 2 missing State House (REP), 1 missing State Senate (SEN), and 0 missing U.S. Congress (CONG).
Check 12 · Split-ballot precincts across legislative boundaries
Statewide, 356 polling precincts span multiple legislative districts (3 U.S. Congressional splits, 96 State Senate splits, and 308 State House splits; 374 total split precincts including county commissioner splits). Poll workers in split precincts should verify 911 GIS street-range ballot styles prior to Election Day.
Check 13 · Non-partisan NVRA status & ballot-activity reconciliation
Serves both voter protection and list maintenance: (1) Voter Protection — 36,071 voters have a recorded ballot in 2024–2026 while their registration status is marked Inactive. County Election Commissioners should confirm Active status before printing pollbooks. (2) List Maintenance — 196,957 Active voters registered in 2018 or earlier have zero recorded vote since before 2018; under Miss. Code Ann. § 23-15-153, County Election Commissioners hold statutory authority to review and remove ineligible records following NVRA notice.
Check 14 · Unparsed 911 GIS residential house numbers
1,011 active voters (1,900 total) have descriptive text in their residential street address (such as rural highway descriptions or intersection notes) without a leading E-911 house number. Standardizing house numbers against county E-911 parcel maps prevents split-precinct misassignments.
