> Dead people don't vote for reasons that are mostly obvious.

There have been cases over the years where votes were cast on behalf of
dead people who were still on the register.

Same thing with taxes.  Fraudsters steal the SSNs and personal info of dead
people so they can try to get individual income tax refunds from the IRS
and state/local governments.  Since we are in the days of direct deposits,
these refund requests don't even have to have valid mailing address or come
from persons who reside in the United States.

Personal information is sold on the dark web, often for high prices, just
for these purposes... as well as health insurance fraud and several other
types of fraud.
