Do North Carolina as well please, they just purged 10% of their voting-age citizens.

Ok and what about all the other states that are purging voters?

All “purges” seem to be obviously suppressing votes, or is it just me?

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:

Thank you justice department for doing what is right.

Oh wow a lawsuit, I am sure that justice will be SWIFT and all of those disenfranchised voters will be put back on the voter rolls, in about six to twelve months. Just in time to be purged from the next voter rolls, and we can do it all over again.
And this being Alabama, I am sure that only the people with the “White” color remain on the ballots, while the people with the “Mother-Blacking-Wrong-Colored-Folk” get booted off the rolls, right?
Thank God the supreme court ruled that there is no more racism in this country, and we don’t need a voter rights act.

Too late suing them won’t change history. The better question is how you get the people back on the role.

Wouldn’t it be funny if Harris ended up winning Alabama? 😀

Alabama is a borderline failed state but they’ll keep voting for conservatives and blaming liberals for their sorry lot.

“While states can remove a person’s name from their lists of registered voters if, for example, the person asks to be taken off, has died or, in many places, been convicted of certain crimes.”
What on earth does commiting a crime have to do with losing the right to vote? That is the stupidest thing in this whole stupid process.
