massive voter purge in Georgia:
https://boingboing.net/2018/10/02/th...eg-palast.htmlGeorgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp (previously) embarked on an aggressive voter suppression campaign in 2017, purging 10% of the voter roll, some 591,000 Georgian voters.
Now, after a litigation threat by investigative journalist Greg Palast, Kemp has provided a list of the purged voters, which Palast has assembled into a searchable database.
No back and forth.
You posted something stupid.
It was debunked.
No forth here to have. Feel free to claim the earth is flat for your finale.
Online link for Texas voter application goes down days before registration deadline
Texas Secretary of State Rolando Pablos' office says it is working on the "server issue" and tweeted an alternative link to the application Saturday afternoon. Voters must register by Tuesday for November elections.

hole TX Repugs cheating again, as always.
https://wsbt.com/news/local/you-migh...t-even-know-itAbout half a million voters were purged from the registration rolls in the state of Indiana.
http://prospect.org/article/fighting...er-purges-ohioAccording to the ACLU and other voting advocates, about two million Ohio registered voters have been purged under what the state calls “the supplemental process” since Husted took office in 2011. It’s not entirely clear how many Ohio voters are in the crosshairs this time around. About 835,000 Ohio registered voters haven’t voted in two years, according to an election data analysis this summer by Cleveland.com.
https://www.brennancenter.org/blog/f...ers-high-ratesFrom November 2008 to November 2010, the median purge rate in the Sunshine State was 0.2 percent. That number jumped to 3.6 percent from 2012 to 2014. And new data show it’s jumped again: Between December 2016 and September 2018, Florida has purged more than 7 percent of its voters.
Not only can we tell that purges have increased — we also know where the biggest purges are happening. Hardee, Hendry, Palm Beach, and Okaloosa counties have each purged more than 10 percent of their voters in the last two years.
Between 2010 and 2014 — a period of time that covers before and after the Supreme Court’s decision on the Voting Rights Act — Georgia’s median purge rate increased from 6.7 percent to 10.7 percent. Our analysis of the data shows that the state continues to have a high purge rate: Over the past two years, the state has purged 10.6 percent of voters. Nonwhite voters were slightly overrepresented among those purged when compared to the total population breakdown
.
Ninety-seven of the state’s 159 counties purged more than 10 percent of their voters in the last two years. Four counties (Chattahoochee, Liberty, Dade, and Camden) are particular outliers, each purging at least 15 percent of their voters. At a more granular level, 430 of the 781 zip codes have purged more than 10 percent of their voters since 2016. This rebuts any speculation that the VRA’s preclearance provision may have blocked reasonable list maintenance practices. “Catching up” might have seemed like an excusable reason for increased rates in the first purge cycle without pre-clearance (2014-2016), but Georgia’s purge rates have not returned to pre-2013 levels in the five years since the decision was handed down.
North Carolina’s purge rates fall in between Florida and Georgia. Forty of its one hundred counties were covered under Section V of the Voting Rights Act at the time of the Shelby County v. Holder decision in 2013. The average purge rate in the state increased modestly between 2010 to 2014, from 8.0 to 8.8 percent. Like in Georgia and Florida, however, this didn’t represent a temporary increase, but rather has been sustained over the past few years. Between September of 2016 and May of 2018 (the latest date data is available), the state purged 11.7 percent of its voter rolls. Just 19 of its counties purged fewer than 10 percent of their voters, and no county purged fewer than 8 percent. These purges have been especially troubling for voters of color – in 90 out of 100 counties, voters of color were over-represented among the purged group.
another Cons utional up, letting states decide who can vote
the Cons ution sucks
as designed. politicians pick the voters.
and they unpick the voters
in Georgia, it's a gubernatorial candidate who's doing the de-selecting
53K voter applications on hold by the candidate for Gov aka Secy of State, they can't vote, 70% of the applicants are black.

https://www.gregpalast.com/indiana-c...s-are-you-one/Altogether, Indiana cancelled the registrations of ... 469,000 voters
Florida's voter registration website went down two days before the deadline.
Was not fixed.
Just like TX's
===================
Georgia Breaks Its All-Time Voter Registration Record
https://www.courthousenews.com/georg...ration-record/
2016 Democratic primary post-mortem:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5O...IxaWpZWnM/viewThis evidence falls into four categories: 1) voter suppression; 2) voter registration tampering (switching of a voter’s party affiliation without their knowledge or consent); 3) illegal voter registration purges; 4) evidence for erroneous or fraudulent voting machine counts. We have also discovered a number of credible reports of miscellaneous kinds of election fraud or potential election fraud that are particularly relevant to caucus states.”
500,000 purged in Illinois, 750,000 in Colorado.
totally legit
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/oct/19/georgia-governor-race-voter-suppression-brian-kempUnder Georgia procedures, registered voters who have not cast ballots for three years are sent a notice asking them to confirm they still live at their address. If they don’t return it, they are marked inactive. If they don’t vote for two more general elections after that, they are removed from the rolls.
Georgia removed more than 534,000 voters that way in 2016 and 2017. Using databases employed by commercial mailing firms, analysts commissioned by Palast’s group found that 334,134 of those citizens actually still live at the address they registered.
People who don't vote lost their voter registration and will have to register again. Sounds like the end of democracy.
if you don't see a problem there must not be one.
why do you think the rate of voter purges has gone up so much in Georgia in recent years?
why do you think the GOP is trying to make it harder for Americans to vote?
the pattern of purges will raise questions about the legitimacy of elections in a lot of places, but as a fan of chaos you probably like that.
