I can assume current reasons, but where did it historically come from to strike voters from voting lists? Who cares if they didn’t vote recently. People should just be able to vote…

It needs to be purged periodically. People move out of state or pass away or change their address so the roster needs to be kept current. Usually this is done by updating a drivers license but not every person has one. Cleaning up the voters list is standard operating procedure.
The big change in what you’re seeing recently is when it’s happening. Usually this is done after an election not 2 to 3 months before the next one. If you purge 600,000 voters, how are they informed? How is the administration equipped to deal with registering 600,000 applications in a short period of time? If you do the purge at the end of an election cycle there’s 2+ years to get it sorted out. Not a handful of weeks.
It’s a shitty tactic that is taking something normal and weaponize it.
