Let’s say you live in State B. Up until two years ago, you lived in and were able to vote in State A. You recently registered to vote as a Citizen of State B. You are now registered to vote as a citizen of both States. State A sends you a mail-in ballot for their elections, and State B send you a notification of where you can go vote in-person. You have two opportunities to vote potentially affecting the outcome of an election that no longer affects you, whereas the one for State B does. Would you want somebody who does not live in your state any longer to have a say in how things are done there? This is why we should clean voter rolls out on a more regular basis. Plus people also die between elections, those names and votes should be cleaned from the list to make maintenance easier for those who do it.
