Unregistering voters

349 viewsOther

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…

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.
