And I’m sure I’m still on the voter rolls despite voting legally only in NJ.
“New York City’s bungled purge offers a cautionary tale “
Ok?
Still purging them. Tell NYC to hire fewer idiots.
Gee, I wonder how many of the incorrectly purged calls were from ‘Pubbie lists.
“OK, coach, I tried changing my swing like you said, and not only did I not hit the ball, the bat slipped outta my hand and hit you in the head. So there, what you tried to teach me doesn’t work.”
It doesn’t work when Democrats do the purging. They have a propensity to go after anyone not a Democrat rather than someone breaking the law.
Solution, Voter ID! OMG, we can’t have any that, not in a democrat controlled area.
RME
So don’t ever try to fix a problem just in case there are some minor setbacks in the vast kerfuffle. Definitely a Rat/media mentality
I’ve heard the same thing about the justice system. Occasionally, the wrong people get arrested for murder. By their reasoning, we shouldn’t arrest anyone. Unstopped murderers are just an unfortunate side-effect.
AP protecting the corrupt system (again).
Can’t spell “crap” without the “AP” ...
This is fake news. Big time.
It just shows the incompetence of bureaucrats not that it doesn’t need to be done.
Purge doesn’t mean to go through name by name. It means destroy the entire list. If you wish to vote, you have four years to re-register.
My plan:
Purge after every national election
Register with two forms of govt. issued ID. One must prove citizenship
ID required to vote
Eliminate early voting
“””elections officials began an aggressive purge in 2014 and 2015 that eliminated more than 200,000 supposedly invalid registrations. The result? A record number of complaints during the 2016 presidential primary from legal voters who turned up to cast a ballot, but found that they were no longer registered”””
A record number of complaints!!!! What was the prior record??? Two???
Exactly how many of the 200,000 supposedly invalid registrations were actually valid??? Three???
Why do MSM reporters go out of their way to mislead their readers??? By chance do they have an agenda???? Of course not, just like there is no voter fraud there is also no media bias!!!!!
Well, New York is an ok place to visit!
So a few legitimate voters were purged? So what. They can go and re-register fairly easily. That cost is well worth it to get rid of dead and illegal voters.
I’d like to see audits every election. Have a trusted outside investigator check 1,000 votes cast in each state. If there are even 1% fraudulent votes, that is extremely likely to be detected. Prosecute every fraudster, and then carry on a more thorough investigation in those states with the highest levels of fraud in the initial audit.
If a state (California? Illinois? NJ?) has a particularly high fraud rate, investigate/validate every vote cast. If we find illegals voting, prosecute them, deport them, and pay their home countries to imprison them for five or more years (plus ban illegals who vote from ever returning to the USA).
This has happened in other places.
I often thought some of it was done intentionally by democrats in the election offices to discredit the process of cleaning up the voter roles.
The local government in cities where voters are concentrated are generally democrat.
And the last thing democrats want is to have only live, legitimate voters registered.
Make everyone register every 4 years. I’d prefer every election, but every 4 years sees like a reasonable compromise.
Show up in person at your convenience over 4 years to show proof of citizenship and residency and get your voter registration card. Then show up in person to vote with your card and ID. Sorry if you can’t manage to register in 4 years or are out of town on voting day/week (exceptions for military ).
Voting should not be so simple that voter fraud is easy. Whether or not voter fraud exists, the perceived integrity of our system is low, and that is a big problem. These steps are not difficult for most people. And the money spent fighting “fixes” could easily be used to get IDs and voter cards for everyone who wants to vote (e.g. help getting proof of identity and rides to the registration locations). If a party expects/needs votes from people who don’t want/care to vote or are not eligible to vote then they have a problem that these steps won’t “fix”.
Yeah, let’s never clean up the voter rolls because someone may be inconvenienced LOL. The opposition party (the press) is so divorced from reality it’s laughable.
