In California, at least, lists of registered voters and their addresses are
public information. Anybody with enough money can get the lists and then drive
around and verify them. You can also put your own observers in polling
places and inspect all documents except the ballots themselves.

My guess has as to why election official wouldn't do this on their own
is that they are not paid to do so by their legislatures. Elections are
already expensive, and if you can get a newspaper or political party
to investigate for you, you don't have use tax money for it.
