People who move - the state they move from has no way of knowing.

Now driver's licenses and arrests are controlled, so if you say have a suspended license in one state you can't just go to another state and get another one.

But with voters, it does not look like there is anything to cancel registration when someone moves out of the state. Or dies, for that matter.
