All “purges” seem to be obviously suppressing votes, or is it just me?

The purgers are going to happen in more places. In some cases, it doesn’t even matter if you voted before because people in other states are claiming they are being purged even when they voted in an earlier primary, in the same year/state. Look up your voter status daily (and tell your friends and loved ones as well. And tell them to tell others to look up their voter status daily as well). Here is where you can look up your voter status:
This is the best tl;dr I could make, [original](https://www.npr.org/2024/09/27/nx-s1-5131578/alabama-noncitizen-voter-purge-lawsuit) reduced by 72%. (I’m a bot)

> According to a press release, Allen identified and instructed county election officials to remove from their voter rolls 3,251 registered Alabama voters who had been "Issued noncitizen identification numbers by the Department of Homeland Security.”
> In a statement, the Justice Department characterized this process as a "Systematic voter removal program" that has ensnared U.S. citizens, both those born in the United States and those who were naturalized, and put them on a path to no longer appearing on Alabama's voter registration list.
> In August, NPR spoke with a voter who was born in Alabama and received a notice from election officials that his registration had been flagged and he was "On the path for removal from the statewide voter list.”
Thank you justice department for doing what is right.

Oh wow a lawsuit, I am sure that justice will be SWIFT and all of those disenfranchised voters will be put back on the voter rolls, in about six to twelve months. Just in time to be purged from the next voter rolls, and we can do it all over again.
And this being Alabama, I am sure that only the people with the “White” color remain on the ballots, while the people with the “Mother-Blacking-Wrong-Colored-Folk” get booted off the rolls, right?
Thank God the supreme court ruled that there is no more racism in this country, and we don’t need a voter rights act.

Too late suing them won’t change history. The better question is how you get the people back on the role.

Wouldn’t it be funny if Harris ended up winning Alabama? 😀

Alabama is a borderline failed state but they’ll keep voting for conservatives and blaming liberals for their sorry lot.

“While states can remove a person’s name from their lists of registered voters if, for example, the person asks to be taken off, has died or, in many places, been convicted of certain crimes.”
What on earth does commiting a crime have to do with losing the right to vote? That is the stupidest thing in this whole stupid process.

Has America ever thought about fixing their federal voting laws?
thomport on
I think a lot of this crooked stuff is going on. It’s close to the election so they could possibly not have time to fix it.
If they want to be a part of America, they need to act in an appropriate way to ensure other peoples freedoms.
Like America or leave it !!!

There’s no early in-person voting and no same day registration. So check your status now, register, vote
They purged Florida voter rolls in 2000. The 2000 election was a real stolen election. Will we see Brooks Brothers riots in these states?
north carolina just did it too. where’s the lawsuit here?
