It is very hard to determine what 100% voting is, but your point is totally valid.

People age into voting age between the 10 year census, and tons of people die, move in and out, and travel around constantly, get felonies so they lose the right to vote, etc.
The most accurate counts would be the voter registrations, but typically registration records are only updated to accept NEW voters, not to purge anyone.
This is why Judicial Watch has been pushing for states to purge the voter registrations - to make sure they are accurate and only let valid voters actually participate.
Typically there is an "expected" voter turnout - which is what would be considered "100%" by many poll watchers. In turbulent years, the voter turnout is expected to be higher than usual, but within some margin of error.
Presidential years get higher voter turnout than midterms.

All that said, if there is an unexpected jump beyond expectations in the number of ballots received, there is definitely cause to suspect voter fraud - but because of the loose structure of the voting in the current times, this is impossible to prove unless caught first hand.

Secondly, as your last sentence rightly proclaims - nobody gives a good fuck about it. Guess that is just the way (((voting))) has evolved.

How about requiring voter registrations to be renewed periodically like driver’s licenses?

That should be the standard, but states are (((encouraged))) to not do that (cheating is the main goal).

Most states have "automatic" registration when getting a license - that is the easiest way to get voters added.

Purging voters is difficult, because DL times are usually more than 2 years, so it becomes impossible to keep up with a database that adds at a much longer period than the voting cycles.

The best voting is still the paper ballots and dipping a finger in indelible ink. The US thinks it is "better" than that. LOL
