Alarm over voter purges as 17m Americans removed from rolls in two years

Areas with discriminatory history purging at higher rates
Brennan Center report finds millions ‘wrongfully purged’

US election jurisdictions with histories of egregious voter discrimination have been purging voter rolls at a rate 40% beyond the national average, according to a watchdog report released Thursday.

At least 17 million voters were purged nationwide between 2016 and 2018, according to a study by the Brennan Center for Justice. The number was basically unchanged from the previous two-year period.

While the rate of voter purges elsewhere has declined slowly, jurisdictions released from federal oversight by a watershed 2013 supreme court ruling had purge rates “significantly higher” than jurisdictions not previously subjected to oversight, the Brennan Center found in a previous report.

That trend has continued, the watchdog said, with the disproportionate purging of voters resulting in an estimated 1.1 million fewer voters between 2016 and 2018.

Voter purges accelerated in the United States with the 2013 Shelby County v Holder ruling, which released counties with histories of voter discrimination from federal oversight imposed by the 1965 Voting Rights Act.

Dead people, illegal aliens and foreigners hardest hit:

According to Wikipedia, "The Brennan Center for Justice at New York University Law School is a liberal[2][3] or progressive,[4] non-partisan[3] law and public policy institute. The organization is named after Supreme Court Justice William J. Brennan."

hopefully they’re removing all the duplicate and triplicate voters, all the 168 year old voters, and all the illegal alien voters

next we pray they can eliminate the ballot box stuffing and the rigged counting and SorozNazi’s crew of pupppet state election officials (that certify their states’ elections)

Democrats oppose voter ID, even though it would be free, purging the rolls, do not ask if one is a citizen for the census, show ID to vote, oppose securing the border etc etc.

Yet there are still people who thinks the Democrat party stands for America. Stunning that they cannot see they what they vote for is an anti American party.

Also I think the easiest reform is to simply take a case to the Courts (now much friendlier to Trump) saying that it is IMPOSSIBLE to have secret voting when people are allowed, or, as in many states REQUIRED to mail in ballots - with the only exceptions being allowed when a person fills out and signs a form under penalty of perjury stating that they will not be available locally to vote. I know, I’m asking a lot, that was the old way.

Just throw out this crap!

When a live person shows up to complain, it can be dealt with then.

Liberals certainly have access to the lists of people who have been removed from the voter rolls; so the should have no problem finding them, if they still alive and qualified to vote in that precinct.
