In reply to the discussion: North Carolina removes 747,000 from voter rolls, citing ineligibility [View all]LeftInTX
(29,999 posts)17. I'm in Texas and same thing.
It doesn't help that Abbott words it like it has happened recently, but it has been within the last two years. "Texas removes 1.2 million voters!". DU response: "What is the political party of the voters?" "I bet they're all brown people".
Most of them have moved or died. Some have been convicted of felonies.
6,500 were due to suspected US citizenship. The 6,500 are concerning and ACLU, LWV etc are taking legal action. So, this is concerning, but it's only about 1% of those removed.

Dead people yes but removing people because they haven't voted in the last two Fed elections?

The elections boards send out update cards to every registered voter.

Will those voters who moved, or who are inactive, be able to vote provisionally?

Yes, that's what I assumed would be the case. --- They can vote provisionally and their ballot *

It didn't just happen "close to the election" -- its the number removed over the past 20 months.

747,000 over 20 months. My math skills aren't great but I think that's around 37,350/month or less than 1/2 of 1 percent
