It is always a good idea to check your voter registration to ensure you are still registered.
This weekend, the Republican Party of Texas held their quarterly meeting, and during one of their presentations, the presenter spoke about the efforts to purge voters from the voter rolls.
The presenter is a member of the Dallas County Republican Party, and she talks about how they have been downloading the voter rolls of all of the urban counties in Texas. She talks about how they have an IT guy who is a California refugee helping them with their project.
What the Dallas County Republican Party has been doing is finding all of the infrequent voters (likely Democrats) and knocking on their doors. If they dont answer and confirm that they live there and are registered to vote, the County Party submits their names to the Dallas County Election Administrators office as someone who has moved, then have their names purged from the voter rolls. She further said someone else will vote for them if the infrequent voter isnt removed from the polls.

(198 posts)I know that in Georgia voter registration information is easily available, and relatively inexpensive to buy. I would assume that voting history is part of that data dump (obviously not including election choices, but including elections voted in). After all, I get mail reminding a prior resident about the upcoming elections and her voting history. Organizing a door knocking campaign off of that data would be easy.
Of course, if the R's can do it, the D's should be able to do the same.
