    "They Didn't Vote ... Now They Can't"

    "Even by Georgia standards, the voter purge of late July 2017 was remarkable. In a single day, more than half a million people — 8 percent of Georgia's registered voters — were cut from the voter rolls."

    "The purge was noteworthy for another reason: For an estimated 107,000 of those people, their removal from the voter rolls was triggered not because they moved or died or went to prison, but rather because they had decided not to vote in prior elections, according to an APM Reports analysis. Many of those previously registered voters may not even realize they've been dropped from the rolls. If they show up at the polls on Nov. 6 to vote in the heated Georgia governor's race, they won't be allowed to cast a ballot."

    https://www.apmreports.org/story/201...ia-voter-purge

    Double whammy, they cut the voters, and didn't even tell them so they might be able to do something about it before election day

    At one time America had a Court system that wouldn't allow such overly partisan political moves designed to suppress voters the enablers estimated wouldn't be voting for their candidate. But with the Robert's Court, it seems if you are conservative, and you can do it, it is legal

    And to think democracies and republics are dependent upon and encourage citizen participation, voting being the most basic

    Go figure. Leftists spinning things and leaving out half of the story.

    registered voters who aren't expected to vote are especially valuable to fraudsters who have designs on voting for them.

    I don't understand the purging process. Why is it necessary?

    Because you cannot have people who are dead or moved away still on the rolls. If people gain access to those rolls or even just know the person is gone they can vote for that person. Thank you no voter ID laws

    But people who are easily mislead by BS articles are still allowed to vote, so don't worry.

    voter ID laws don't necessarily affect mail-in voters, which is basically an honor system. Fraudsters simply mail in the votes for people who are highly unlikely to vote....which is why dead people, inactive registered voters, junkies, drunks (who they pay to register with smokes, forties and half-pints) are valuable. All they need is a name and a legitimate address that is marginally connected to that name...if the fraudsters' dupes don't vote, no one will ever suspect a thing.

    That is a myth, people actually showing up and fraudulently voting for another is as rare as getting hit by lightning, twice in one lifetime

    "Three year span?" That's it?

    And if you miss two federal elections it automatically disqualifies one from voting? You could vote before, but now you can't because you didn't vote in the last two elections? An American citizen, with a Constitutional right to vote, can lose his right to vote, which he has exercised in the past, because he didn't vote in two prior elections?

    And the best yet, why didn't they make any attempt to let those people know they can't vote this year?

    It is flat out voter suppression, especially given it was initiated thru the efforts of the guy who is now running for Governor

    Yeah, lets purge the voting rolls, because “we MUST keep our elections honest”.....

    Yet in Kansas, one of the candidates for Governor was the the Secretary Of State, WHO COUNTS THE VOTES. And not a peep out of the righties........

    Or maybe you can explain why Texas accepts for voter ID a “Texas handgun license”, but not a college ID ?

    Stop with the faux moral outrage over elections. The problem isn’t “voter fraud”, its ELECTION FRAUD.

    This is disgraceful.

    But of course these guys have a long way to go to match what the Democrats did in just 2016.

    In one borough.

    Of one city.

    It's politically motivated, and it's done by both of our wildly corrupt parties here.

    The Dems did it in Brooklyn to grease the wheels for Clinton in 2016 for instance.

    ^ Thread win.

    But it's much, much, MUCH worse than most anyone thinks.

    We live in a monarchy; the People have NO power.

    Which is bs. I’ve worked for several credit card companies, they knew if you had deceased - had moved - or changed vehicles and what color the new vehicle was. If private companies can keep up with this information so easily I don’t understand why the federal or state government would have any issue doing so.

    You should not have to register to vote - it is a natural right - a valid state issued photo ID should be all you need.

    You missed this part

    Election officials say that they're trying to keep voter registration lists accurate and prevent voter fraud. They consider it safe to assume that people who don't vote in multiple elections, or return confirmation notices, have moved.

    "We're following the process," Kemp said in a recent interview with public radio station WABE in Atlanta, arguing his office had not only complied with state and federal law but was registering more voters than ever. "I'm very proud of my record on making sure we have secure, accessible and fair elections."​

    Yeah - that's the excuse both *sides* (of the same coin) use to control votes.

    The whole process is meaningless, and they still rig it to the hilt.

    But there's no such thing as Fake News. It was a simple, honest mistake which will be corrected on page sixteen of the Friday edition sometime next year.

    A Texas handgun license is government issued, a college ID is not. Did you even try to think that through.?

    Actually colleges ARE state issued ID’s. Including your ISU ID. You had to provide a federal or state issued photo ID to acquire one right ? Then you received an ID issued by the school, which is RUN BY THE STATE

    Apparently you didn’t go to college ;)
