While I can understand not wanting to carry a lot of people on voter roles who are no longer eligible to vote in the state or no longer alive, processes to do update voter roles should be designed to ensure no eligible voter is accidentally removed.

1stSgt Nelson Kerr - There is an obvious ulterior motive of those making the changes, yes... that said, we should be implementing programs to keep voter roles relatively clean, if for no other reason than to give Republicans less excuses to disenfranchise voters.

The orginal method served every legitimate purpose. I agree the rolls should be well.maintained bit in a way that defends citzens rights.

1stSgt Nelson Kerr - Any time the right can argue that those roles are not being well maintained though, they have an excuse to try and push through policies and processes which disenfranchise some of the people they don't want voting.
