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.

    It should be illegal to purge rolls months before an election. You do that shit last year.

      It is illegal. That’s what the lawsuit is about.

      I’m getting deja vu. It’s OK if they do it close to election time. If that was the first thing a Democrat did in power, ink not even dry, it would be “too close” to election time.

      I mean some states have odd year elections for local issues, etc. After the precious election, they should do their diligence to find anyone who should no longer be registered, like people who they believe have died, or shouldn’t have been eligible to register. Anyone purged should get a courtesy notice via email or mail just in case.

      Recounts happen sometimes, etc, so anytime between mid November and early January seems perfectly reasonable to me.
