Voter purge frenzy after federal protections lifted, new report says
Nbc news ^

Posted on 07/28/2018 1:15:11 PM PDT by MNDude

Nine states with a history of racial discrimination are more aggressively removing registered voters from their rolls than other states, according to a report released Friday.

After reviewing voter purges nationally from 2012 to 2016, the nonpartisan Brennan Center for Justice found that the mostly Southern jurisdictions that had once been required to get changes to voting policies pre-approved by the Justice Department had higher rates of purging than jurisdictions that were not previously subject to pre-clearance.

"Two million fewer voters would have been purged over those four years if jurisdictions previously subject to federal pre-clearance had purged at the same rate" as other jurisdictions, the Brennan Center estimated.

Yeah well, Democrats do not run those states anymore, so they? IIRC, *that* was when they were keeping blacks from legally voting.

Now, Republicans are protecting ALL races from illegal voters. Great, ain’t it, NBC FAKENEWS?

the nonpartisan Brennan Center for Justice

When you have to tell everyone that a group is "non-partisan" it tells me two things:

1) They probably are not

2) The writer agrees with the perspectives of said group

<>The Center’s stated mission is to “work to hold our political institutions and laws accountable to the twin American ideals of democracy and equal justice for all.”<>

I somehow missed that Federalist Paper.

Yeah, in the 1950's and early 60's!

i.e. back when the racist Democrats controlled those states.

The Brennan Center for Justice at New York University Law School is a liberal-leaning and nonpartisan law and public policy institute.

Say what?

Every state should do annual purges. People should have to re-register every few years...and show acceptable ID.

It is well-known that there is much fraud...especially in feral-infested cities.

May as well have written “nine States with a history of high temperatures along with humidity in summer” are aggressively cleaning up the voter rolls to avoid any chance of election fraud.

“Two million fewer voters would have been purged over those four years if jurisdictions previously subject to federal pre-clearance had purged at the same rate” as other jurisdictions, the Brennan Center estimated.”

Though the statement might be correct, it is designed to pretend that cleaning up the voter rolls is somehow wrong.

1) For the states in question, normal election roll purging had been blocked for many years prior to federal impediments being lifted. That created a giant backlog of deadwood. Naturally, a state purging years of artificial backlogs will have higher rates for a few years, compared to a state with no backlog continuing its same methodology. Big revelation.

2) Brennan Center is spinning this backwards. From 2012 to 2016, the “other jurisdictions” are in aggregate failing to clean up their voter rolls properly, leaving MANY more than 2 million invalid registrations that should have been purged. That is a threat to the integrity of the vote.
