Between any two points in time there is always a strong 'flux' in the WA voter list. But we don't know how strong that 'flux' is now, because a the $9.5M Voter update project (see also 1) has not produced a current VRDB for public consumption for 2.5 months despite the fact that ballots mail next week for WA Primary! This has caused some alarm as Auditor and Election director testimony as the hearing above shows. An examination of those StateVoterIDs between 12/31/2018 and 4/30/2019 shows exactly how much 'flux' there is between points in time in the WA voter database. Those voters (StateVoterIDs) in April VRDB but not in December equals 72,869 . Those voters (StateVoterIDs) in December VRDB not in April equals 131,979.
