Concerns Raised Over New Voter Roll Cleanup Law

Voting rights groups say Hoosiers could be improperly thrown off Indiana’s voter rolls under a bill set to take effect next month.

Indiana uses what’s called the Interstate Voter Registration Crosscheck each year. It looks for voters who moved to another state.

New legislation makes it easier for counties to remove voters they find in that system. Counties must first check whether a voter registered in another state is the same one registered in Indiana. The county can then remove that voter from the rolls if the registration in the other state happened after their Indiana registration.

But the Brennan Center for Justice says there’s a couple problems with that. Brennan Center counsel Jonathan Brater says the Interstate Crosscheck system has produced troubling results in other states.

disenfranchise voters. All that energy would be better spent trying to improve their party image. Hopefully the Center for Justice is the beginning to putting a stop to their nonsense.

so they have to double-down to remove even more people off the rolls.

However, as numerous stories have revealed, it seems most of these "double-registered" and/or "double-voting" folks who were caught have been GOP (including Drumpf's own staff and children), so they may end up eventually purging their own voters since they have purged so many of ours already.
