(13,342 posts)( I couldn't, and wouldn't, make it past a minute or so) But voting rolls are maintained by the state - and the actions taken with them are for the most part 100% transparent, and subject to oversight and legislation. Therefore - you and I may not like what transpires there, but - and for the last time - they are completely legal. (and will remain so until you can get a court to rule thusly - or legislation passed that would counter .. ) Consequently, until such time, there is no stealing involved.

(11 posts)and I had a chance to speak to my Rep - Pete Stark. At the time the vote purging involved mailing a postcard to the voter and if they did not return the postcard they were knocked off the roles. It was called "Caging". Rep. Pete Stark had never heard of it.The way it worked was if a "Joe Washington" was a convicted felon all "Joe Washingtons" in that state AND EVEN neighboring states would get these postcards. Florida was Ground Zero for this. This time they didn't even bother with the postcards. Cleta Mitchell - famous for hosting the infamous Georgia Phone Call - runs a ORG named Eagle AI that identifies targets for purging. During Jim Crow in the 50's a voter purge op where voters were challenged while standing in line was called "Operation Eagle Eye". Eagle AI is too on the nose

Plus nowadays, people can check on-line, reregister reasonably close to election, etc. Not perfect, not many reports of people purged showing up at polls and being denied voting.

(9,310 posts)IIRC 75,000 votes uncast because of it. I want to say these were just in Hillsborough County but it's probably statewide. W won by 537 votes.

(11 posts)handle on this sort of mucking about Dems will never win another national election and then the state houses start to fall. AI is a monster for this sort of stuff. Gee what happened in the months right before the election? - a hack that essentially got everybody's data. Plug & Play
