They’re asking election administrators to use their data to purge voter registrations, which means names could be removed in a less public process than a formal voter challenge. The strategy could mean electors won’t be summoned in advance to defend their voting rights and the identities of those seeking to purge voters might not be routinely public.

    You’re just being naive to think that. Maybe a person can only vote once in their name, but they can fill out absentee ballots in other peoples names and drop them off in ballot boxes. Thats why having dead people and people that have moved on voter roles just invites fraud.

      Yeah, but why do private individuals have to police voter rolls? It should be the state’s job to do that.

        Why is that? The voters handle elections, count ballots, etc. You really want to trust the state (bureaucrats) to do it? Look at the DMV. They suck at everything they do, just like the government
