Georgia planning to cut voter rolls by 100,000

Gotta get rid of the MASSIVE FRAUD EVIDENCE.

I’m surprised it took someone so long to go there…

I don’t think so. If they haven’t voted in 5 years, they obviously didn’t vote last year.

On Election Day, I saw hundreds of people stream into the polls who asked one question “Give me the list of endorsed candidates. I need to know who to vote for”.

Should those people be disenfranchised?

No. That’s why they’re not. The big is that they are being disenfranchised. I have yet to hear of any actual cases.

Ok as long as they are all black voters. Right?

Be careful, false accusations of racism against fellow forum members is one of the quickest ways to get a timeout. Even cheap ones such as this. You may want to delete this. Cut the crap or get flagged.

But if you did that you would miss out on all that wonderful spam mail and calls from politicians. Lol

No you wouldn’t because there’d still be records of IF you voted.

Which is how politicians create their mailing lists, among other ways.

Get a sense of humor geez

They also get them from registration rolls.

Five years isn’t that long considering many people never vote in the midterms. Five years could be sitting out one presidential election. I’m not sure if that is enough to signal a lack of desire to vote permanently.

Well since they know now, they can register. That’s what I would do. That’s also what you would do. So where’s the problem?

Might cause some problems on election day and they show up thinking they can vote.

Provisional ballot?

A trip to them dmv or county clerk will fix that.

You’re saying these voters aren’t lazy and apathetic?

You think just going along with whom strangers recommend is doing their diligence?

That was your reasoning for deregistering others who hadn’t bothered to vote in a while.

Fair enough. I edited.

I appreciate that. Believe it or not, I sometimes have to fix my stuff. (I know, you’re shocked.)

It needs to be easy to re-register. If it is not, that is the suppression.

It should be easy to exercise a right?

Do you think you are setting a trap here?

Trump would have probably lost by many many more votes had the Altair Rule been in place.

I worked the polls in November 2020. Hundred and hundreds of people in their 30s, 40s and 50s came out to vote who had never ever voted before.

They came out in 2016.

These voters are one of the reasons Trump support was always underestimated.

Pollsters and campaigns never reach out to people who have never voted.

Trump did, and his campaign did a bunch of the “registration harvesting” the right always lambastes Stacy Abrams for doing in Georgia.

Interestingly enough, if the right gets their way on all of these laws, registration harvesting will become even more intense. I am interested to see what they do to try to shut that down.

I’m happy that Hannity members approve of this. I wonder if that will change once your media goofballs and politicians start screaming,

VOTER SUPRESSION!!!

JIM CROW ON STEROIDS! Am I right!

This makes Jim Crow look like Jim Eagle!

The maintenance of electoral rolls should be one of the responsibilities of a state’s independent electoral commission.

[westaussie]

Is one able to vote if one is not on the electoral roll?

One can register and vote at the same time on election day.

Obviously the system needs some work.

In Colorado, if you haven’t voted in the past x-many elections (not sure of the exact number), your name is taken off the voter rolls. But you are sent a letter (to the address from which you registered) notifying you of the action, and you can re-enroll if you choose to.

However, this does NOT address the case where someone registers and then moves, but continues to vote from the original address.

@Supreme_War_Pig

And that is where the rubber meets the road. Registration or re-regustration should be relatively simple. If people run into road blocks, that is the suppression.

Not if the roadblock is a legitimate issue.
