Actually, it looks like that status change was this year.

According to the Alabama Secretary of State’s office, earlier this year the state sent non-forwardable postcards to Alabama voters. If those postcards were returned as undeliverable, the state then sent a forwardable postcard to those voters asking them to update their voter registration.
If the state did not receive a reply to the second card, the voter would after 90 days be moved to “inactive” status, said Clay Helms, supervisor of voter registration with the Alabama Secretary of State’s office.
Did she vote for Trump in the primary or in the general election?
If not, she’s a proven liar.
How was tshe moved to inactive if she’s voting last November?
Someone (reporters here?) needs to look at the voter roles in her county.
Having “inactive” voters on the rolls, is simply an invitation to commit vote fraud. Since the inactive voter has to take action to “activate” their registration, why not just remove it in it’s entirety and just have them create a new registration?
has anyone pulled up the husband’s voter registration?
It could have been changed to that status PRIOR to the 2016 general election. Anyhow, I checked and she did not do a “provisional” or absentee vote in the November 2016 election. The Alabama site let me check that but I could find no way to check online to see if she voted at the polling place.
