Purging voter registration rolls should not be controversial.

The process is part of ensuring the integrity of the vote, making sure that ineligible voters are not allowed a ballot.

But for some Democrats looking to make an issue of purging people from the voter rolls, it's a racist attempt to deny people of color the right to vote.

Do states purge some eligible voters from the rolls inadvertently or by mistake? No doubt the answer to that question is yes. Perhaps someone who moved forgot to change their address. Perhaps they didn't notice the postcard that came in the mail reminding them to register with their new address.

The fact is that the overwhelming number of people who are purged from voter rolls were either dead or moved without telling the local registrar. 

Stupidity and laziness are colorblind.

Gov. Greg Abbot (R-Texas) announced yesterday that Texas had purged more than one million voters from the registration rolls.

Since Senate Bill 1 passed in 2021, 1.1 million people have had their names purged from voter registration rolls. "Among the 1.1 million removed from Texas’s voter rolls are over 457,000 people who died and over 463,000 people on the state’s suspense list, the governor said Monday" reports the Washington Examiner.

On Thursday, the Supreme Court ruled on Arizona's proof of citizenship law, allowing the state to require those registering to vote to present proof of citizenship. Republican National Committee Chairman Lara Trump called the decision “a huge win” for the RNC. She also said the decision “sets a precedent across the country” for other states to take similar action.

New York Post:

In Texas, it's going to be extremely difficult for an illegal alien to vote, just as it is in every other state. But both Democrats and Republicans should welcome measures that either party takes to prevent election skullduggery.
