This is being put forth by Greg Palast, an investigative journalist who is looking into this trend of voter purging and who it effects...and more particularly where and who are the main targets of it:

"As in Bush v. Gore in 2000, and in too many other miscarriages of Democracy, this election was determined by good old “vote suppression,” the polite term we use for shafting people of color out of their ballot. We used to call it Jim Crow.

Here are key numbers:

  • 4,776,706 voters were wrongly purged from voter rolls according to US Elections Assistance Commission data.
  • By August of 2024, for the first time since 1946, self-proclaimed “vigilante” voter-fraud hunters challenged the rights of 317,886 voters. The NAACP of Georgia estimates that by Election Day, the challenges exceeded 200,000 in Georgia alone.
  • No less than 2,121,000 mail-in ballots were disqualified for minor clerical errors (e.g. postage due).
  • At least 585,000 ballots cast in-precinct were also disqualified.
  • 1,216,000 “provisional” ballots were rejected, not counted.
  • 3.24 million new registrations were rejected or not entered on the rolls in time to vote.
If the purges, challenges and ballot rejections were random, it wouldn’t matter. It’s anything but random. For example, an audit by the State of Washington found that a Black voter was 400% more likely than a white voter to have their mail-in ballot rejected. Rejection of Black in-person votes, according to a US Civil Rights Commission study in Florida, ran 14.3% or one in seven ballots cast.

There are also the uncountable effects of the explosive growth of voter intimidation tactics including the bomb threats that closed 31 polling stations in Atlanta on Election Day."


And if course these challenges go pretty much one way. It's only Republicans challenging people's votes en masse.

It's real nice for you to share all the numbers, but perhaps those numbers are exactly in line with what would be the norm and those actions needed to happen.

I know that here in California we had millions of invalid voters on our voter rolls and the Democrats had to be taken to court and forced to remove the bad registrations.
 

What a complete goddamn idiot

Trump lost. That is, if all legal voters were allowed to vote, if all legal ballots were counted, Trump would have lost the states of Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Georgia. Vice-President Kamala Harris would have won the Presidency with 286 electoral votes.


Denying elections is fine when Hillary or you do it

Totally down for a national ID (govt sponsored) so we can make sure everything is good.
 
Nah Bro, the government cant be trusted to ever do anything right......right?
There has to be a resolution that the people can trust imo. Also.... hope you are good brotha.
 
Correlation =/= causation? Or was this addressed in a part that was not pasted into the thread?
 
Is this the same kind of "voter suppression" in Georgia, that has seen record turnouts ever since those dastardly voter restriction laws were put into place?

These boys ain't gonna make it another four years.
