> I was able to find a dozen dead people in multiple states that requested and cast a ballot in the election.

How do you know that the person requesting and casting the ballot was dead?

I think the common interpretation is that a living person fraudulently used the identity of a dead person to cast an illegal ballot.

Yes, but how did they know that it wasn’t just a living person casting a ballot normally?

Presumably they matched the name, location, and DOB with a person who had a public obituary. I'm not the op so I don't know.

That isn’t an accurate system—so if that’s all they were doing, they really shouldn’t be making claims they can’t support.

I'm sure its not foolproof but it clearly raises suspicion. How many people are born on the same date with the same name?
