The DOJ was literally invented to defeat white supremacists who were trying to intimidate and disenfranchise voters. They can do this all day.

How ironic that VP Harris is continually labeled as a Communist by the GOP, but they’re the ones resorting to Communist tactics to steal the election.

> Alabama’s Republican secretary of state, Wes Allen, in August announced an initiative “to remove noncitizens registered to vote in Alabama”.
But they’re actually removing “inactive” voters and he’s just lying about his intentions.
But that’s what republicns do. They lie

If you’re blue and live in Bama, move to PA or Michigan. Heck just move to Florida. There’s no way to flip Alabama blue.

It’s all a smokescreen with these GOP folks? They cry Communist but play by the communist’s handbook. Can’t make this up!

Won’t help this election. The courts can’t stop it at this point and in Alabama … probably wouldn’t even if they could.

> The US Department of Justice filed a lawsuit on Friday against Alabama and its top election official, accusing the state of illegally purging people from voter rolls too close to the November election.
> Federal officials said the purge violates the "Quiet period provision" of the National Voter Registration Act that prohibits the systemic removal of names from voter rolls 90 days before a federal election.
> More than 3,000 people who had been previously issued noncitizen identification numbers will have their voter registration status made inactive and flagged for possible removal from the voter rolls.
The purgers are going to happen in more places. In some cases, it doesn’t even matter if you voted before because people in other states are claiming they are being purged even when they voted in an earlier primary, in the same year/state. Look up your voter status daily (and tell your friends and loved ones as well. And tell them to tell others to look up their voter status daily as well). Here is where you can look up your voter status:
repub campaign play book: 1) tell lies 2) suppress the vote.

Amazing how quickly the former Jim Crow states relaunched their voter suppression tactics after the the GOP sunsetted 1964 Voting Rights Act protections just a few short years ago.
