Yeah, in the 1950's and early 60's!
are more aggressively removing registered voters from their rolls than other states, according to a report released Friday.
Yeah, and it's colorblind. I'm as white as snow and I got removed when a letter went to an address I moved away from.

The Brennan Center advocates for a number of progressive public policy positions, including raising the minimum wage, opposing voter ID laws, and calling for public funding of elections.[7][8] The organization opposed the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling in Citizens United v. FEC, which held that the First Amendment prohibits the government from restricting independent political expenditures by nonprofits.[6][9]
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.”[10] The organization’s president is Michael Waldman, former director of speechwriting for President Bill Clinton.
They are just catching up.
Of course, it couldn’t be that those other states don’t care about disenfranchising their legal voters.
Not coincidentally, while they were Democrat-majority states
Rephrased: those states under democrat control are doing the least to ensure the integrity of elections by making sure only those eligible to vote are able to do so.
I should’ve waited and read this as a bedtime story.
Two million fraudulent voters would have been eligible to vote.
Brater said that under the Trump administration, "the Department of Justice has abdicated its responsibility to protect against bad voter purges."
Is there any proof 'bad voter purges' are happening?
This is just the Left whining because their dead voter base may be removed from the rolls in time for the November elections. It’s just not fair. One skeleton, one vote!
I think they should be fully purged after every presidential election, the day after inauguration.
Let everyone register again, clean up the dead votes. Plus if you don’t care enough to register, you shouldn’t vote.
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?
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
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.
