https://ncnewsline.com/briefs/nc-republicans-seek-a-voter-purge-that-would-violate-federal-law/Despite being aware of their alleged claims months ago, the plaintiffs have waited until two weeks before the start of voting to seek a court-ordered program to remove thousands of existing registered voters. Federal law itself prevents such removal programs if they take place after the 90th day before a federal election, which was August 7. So, the lawsuit is asking for a rapid-fire voter removal program that violates federal law.

OP
getagrip_already
(17,430 posts)1. Emergency appeal to scotus in 3, 2, 1...
Scotus just ruled on a similar suit in nevada. It was a split decision, ruling changes could take affect going forward, not back.
But who knows what they will say here.

(17,926 posts)3. 2 easy steps to check that YOUR registration hasn't been stolen..
FIRST:
Check registration deadlines in any state here:
https://www.usvotefoundation.org/state-election-dates-and-deadlines
THEN:
Check your registration (and let others know they can check theirs) at these sites:
https://iwillvote.com/
(Be sure to choose YOUR state)
https://www.vote.org/
https://vote.gov/
Check your voter registration often, especially if you live in a state where republicans have any access to voter rolls or can effect voter registrations in ANY way.
See ya in November!

(9,809 posts)4. REcommend you make this a separate op! It's very important. It should be posted once a week.
Think. Again.

....by posting it as a response to every appropriate OP I see.
PLEASE feel free to post it anywhere, any time, you see fit!
