States Aggressively Move to Purge Voter Rolls

https://politicalwire.com/2018/07/22/states-aggressively-move-to-purge-voter-rolls/

"SNIP..........

“Nine states with a history of racial discrimination are more aggressively removing registered voters from their rolls than other states, according to a report released Friday,” NBC News reports.

“After reviewing voter purges nationally from 2012 to 2016, the nonpartisan Brennan Center for Justice found that the mostly Southern jurisdictions that had once been required to get changes to voting policies pre-approved by the Justice Department had higher rates of purging than jurisdictions that were not previously subject to pre-clearance.”

This should be done in reply to any Democratic entity asking for your donation. Otherwise, they may never get the idea.

shithole and the GOPs are appointing judges at the federal level who don't believe in voting rights, women rights, civil rights.

And they are doing it in record time just in case of 2018 mid-terms wherein they are praying that Russia will tilt it their way again. So, the party of patriotism was a ruse.

In some areas they already need big turnout & margins. I want to tell my GOP relatives, "This is what you support if you support republicans. The disenfranchisement of people who disagree with you. If our side did this you would scream bloody murder about the injustice of it."
