Maybe the slave states still do need federal oversight of their elections after all?

Honest question: is the GOP in a position to lose power in AL? Why go to all this effort if they already have a trifecta? And have had it for nearly 15 years.

When you hear Republicans whine about this know that the National Voters Registration Act of 1993 includes a quiet period where
> States must complete any program that systematically removes the names of ineligible voters from the official list of eligible voters no later than 90 days before a primary election or general election for federal office.
States are blatantly breaking the law and this should be brought up every time the story pops up.

Well this is a step in the right direction.
Alabama and voter intimidation, name a more iconic duo…

Where are all of the Republicans complaining about not being able to tidy up the voter rolls a bit before the election?

Hopefully we’ll have a blue Congress and blue president soon. They can address voting rights issues. These rednecks think they can steal our votes.
First the electoral college needs to go. Trump taught the world how it can be easily corrupted, therefore, it has no value.
United States need to pass a bill, requiring everyone over the age of 18 to cast a vote. It’s your responsibility.– Just like your taxes are your responsibility. If you don’t like any of the candidates, you simply indicate none of the above and that will be your vote.
Republicans don’t want to take care of the working class they want to skew the election process and win. Nothing new, *it’s out in the open now*.

>“As part of this program, they were all reported to Alabama’s chief law enforcement authority for criminal investigation,”
>Allen’s office sent notices to 3,251 people, questioning their right to vote and notifying them that their registration status had been changed to inactive. Of those, more than 2,074 people have since been deemed eligible to vote, both sides agreed during court.
The Secretary of State had the police investigate a group of people, of which at least two-thirds – *so far* – have found to have not done anything wrong.
That seems to literally not constitute probable cause for the cops to investigate someone.

Conservatives: but if we can’t cheat how do you expect us to win?

How the fuck can this possibility be legal?

Whoa whoa whoa, this is just routine maintenance sub 30 days to election day. We need voter roll integrity to stop illegals from voting! These states would never, ever, remove legitimate voters, especially that of the other party. /S
Comically enough, there is a well timed video, actually 2 of them, from BTC with Justin Glawe and another from democracy docket within the past few days, that details how and why for all these suits so close to the election. As you can imagine, it’s to use after the election when they lose to scream “look at all the fraud that took place, and we tried to stop it.”
