(36,396 posts)This guy cannot announce the number of purged voters in total and then claim they weren't allowed to vote. It isn't true. Names were purged in almost every state, because the voter registration rolls were matched against the Drivers License rolls. Whenever the state found a discrepancy, they assumed the drivers license rolls were up-to-date and the voter registration rolls were incorrect.
Names were dropped because
1. people move
2. people get married and change their names
3. people die, or become unable to vote (or drive)
4. people sometimes register to vote under a different name, example "Bob Jones" instead of "Robert Jones"
Were city dwellers more likely than rural folks to be purged? Yes because they move more often, they tend to be younger and change jobs and residences more often. Were more Democrats purged than Republicans? Probably, and for the above reasons.
However every voter who discovered they were dropped was able to re-register AND vote. They needed to show a photo ID, and they needed to show proof of their address, just as they did when they qualified for a Drivers License. It's not brain surgery.
