Not defending the rule, but in MA they are pretty good at keeping these records clean. I know our town verifies addresses with an annual census. If your name is not listed every year, you are dropped from the rolls.
The other thing that helps is jury duty. Every three years you get called. If the notice gets returned, you are dropped from the rolls.
It is not perfect, but it’s better than most states.
Mail-in gives Deep State a heads up on how much they have to cheat to successfully steal an election.
Make it harder for Deep State to cheat.
Increase the chances of Deep State getting caught if they do.
NEVER use mail in if you can make it to the polls on election day.
Ditto for early voting.
That is great. Your town is a rarity.
Typically, state courts do not allow locations to ‘purge’ voter rolls, then they allow ballots to go out to every voter on those rolls. This is how so many votes came from deceased people, vacant lots, etc.
If you are lucky enough to receive a ballot, there is nothing preventing you from voting it … IDs and signatures are not checked. This becomes another source of fraud.
