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.
Why the fuck is any person ever having their voter registration rescinded? It’s simply undemocratic.
It’s generally for clearing dead people off the list so that someone else can’t pretend to be them.
I get that, but someone commiting fraud could pretend to be a living person too. I’d rather have the potential for someone to do something illegal that they’re able to do regardless of purging voters than a system where real, living, eligible voters are disenfranchised.
