Finding the 6,000 voters

This map, broken up by Dallas County voting precinct, shows the concentration of voters whose personal information matched that found in a federal database of death records. The redder the red, the greater the concentration; the lighter the shade of red, the fewer voters on the list in that precinct. Using a computer mapping and analysis program, Texas Watchdog plotted the residences of 88 percent of the 6,000-plus matches, and then overlaid onto that map the county's voting district boundaries. (Green areas are parks or other landmarks, and blue represents water.)



The 6,000 voters are scattered across Dallas County, in nearly 600 precincts, Texas Watchdog found.

Two precincts tied for the most matches, with 43 each: Precinct 1123, a triangular area near Fair Oaks Park at the junction of U.S. 75 and Interstate 635, north of downtown, and Precinct 3342, a rectangular patch of land south of Fair Park and near U.S. 175.

Three other precincts had 36 matches each. A dozen precincts had 30 or more matches each, and a total of 64 precincts had between 20 and 43 matches.

Texas Watchdog used GIS maps from the North Central Texas Council of Governments for its analysis.
