Unregistering voters

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…

The main reasons to strike a voter have always existed: if they move away or die. If you used to vote in a place and stopped voting there for a while, it’s not unreasonable to assume that you moved elsewhere and are voting there, or that you died. It also makes sense to be suspicious of someone suddenly showing up to vote claiming to be you.

Yeah fun fact my mom died 5 years ago and we found out last election that apparently not only was she still on the voter rolls, but she voted.

Uh, if she voted we need to check the mausoleum because I guess she’s a vampire or something.
