Why Are Voter Registrations Changing? What you need to know:

Huge voter registration problems are plaguing states with closed primaries, leading to allegations of election fraud around the country. People who said they were previously registered Democrat or Republican suddenly found their registrations inactive or their party affiliations dropped, and now they can’t vote in their primary. These problems were a big issue in Arizona, and now they’re being seen in New York, California, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and more.

Many people are concerned election fraud is happening, but others think it could be widespread clerical errors. Either way, the problem is affecting people’s ability to vote. Is your voter registration affected, too?

Here’s what you need to know.

I read the republican in Mississippi that complained about democrats supposedly switching over to mess with his vote, but I never put tons of stock in it. I think they should all be open. (Mississippi can even toss your ballot if they think you are party switching to derail a party member). I think that fear is a bigger reason to have more candidates for competition not to limit voting.
