Here's an MSM source on the state of the matter in Alaska as of 2018. It doesn't look like there was any debate about it being a fact that they had more registered voters than eligible voters at that time.

I think it's natural that the purging of registered voter rolls will never keep up perfectly with people dying and moving out of state. That's not to say that it isn't a problem that they should do their best with.
But it seems to me that the best way to handle this particular problem is with voter ID laws, so that the filtering out of people who live in other states or are dead would happen when they get the ID and/or use it to vote. If this is done well, then having voter rolls that don't get purged effectively enough could be moot.
