I’ve been voting for a couple of decades now, and every single presidential election has had dozens of stories about states, governors, attorneys general, etc. purging voter rolls.
I have never, once, in that time, seen this done by someone on the left in an attempt to benefit the Democratic party. Not once.
It is always, without fail, Republicans attempting to cheat. No need to mince words.
When you vote for a Republican, you are literally voting to take your own vote away in the future. And this has been true for decades. Now we’re at the end game.
If you vote Republican, there’s a 99% chance you’re voting against your own interests in several ways.
Folks in Virginia, please don’t be discouraged. Get out and vote! Remember what the governor said:
Youngkin said voters who believe they were improperly removed from the rolls can still vote in the election because Virginia has same-day registration.
“And so there is the ultimate, ultimate safeguard in Virginia, no one is being precluded from voting, and therefore, I encourage every single citizen go vote,” Youngkin told reporters.In the other bit of “less bad” news, it seems like the Supreme Court didn’t explain the reason for the decision, so that means it doesn’t directly on its own set any legal precedents for the future if I’m understanding correctly.
They never purge these voter rolls AFTER elections do they? It’s always between the time they stop letting people register for an election and when that election happens.
US elections happen like clockwork every 2 years. Why isn’t there just a voter roll purge day at a reasonable point in time every 2 years to provide people the time they may need to re-register?
I know the answer, but if it’s honest, it should be baked into the state’s election cycle.
Like say the off year mark? Plenty of time after an election to find issues with the rolls and far enough away from the next for people to correct issues or register again if needed.
That’ll never happen, can’t disenfranchise citizens with that policy.
