title: Ohio '04 308,000 VOTERS CUT FROM THE ROLLS PRIOR TO THE VOTE

Read the whole Fitrakis/Wasserman article cited in the opening post. We have to fight the machines and we also have to fight the other routes to election fraud. Exposure and publicity is an important step for all of this.

Basically if the vote is too close to steal electronically without alerting voters that something is suspicious, they have to manipulate the vote in other ways too. Voter registration purging is one of those ways.
