In August, Alabama Secretary of State Wes Allen announced a plan to remove noncitizens from the voting rolls, citing 3,251 individuals who had registered to vote who were not American citizens.

The Justice Department is asking a federal court to reinstate eligible voters and require Alabama to inform anyone impacted that their ability to vote has been restored.

    If so many non citizens are registered, that sounds like incompetence in your state. I don’t actually believe them that that’s the case though. I’m betting there are a ton of citizens on that list.

      Agreed, somehow they don’t realize what a self-own this is no matter how you look at it

        You’re assuming they give a shit what you think about their actions. I don’t think that’s true at all. We’ve been in the “what are you going to do about it” phase of authoritarianism for a while now.

        The first step is realizing their voting base is hate filled morons who don’t understand basic logic.
