PA: Push to cut 10s of thousands from Allegheny County voter rolls feeds fears

[RandySF]

Clara Osburg has lived in Allegheny County since 2011 and is a regular voter — including in last fall’s municipal election. So it came as a surprise when she received a letter in late January from the county: “Your Allegheny County, Pennsylvania voter registration has been challenged on the basis of residence.”

The letter did not say who challenged her registration, why they did it or what would happen as a consequence.

“At first, I thought perhaps I had done something wrong, like misfiled my taxes or something really concerning like that,” Osburg said. She hadn’t.

Osburg didn’t know it, but she was caught up in a push by local Republicans to “clean” the voter rolls of people they think may have moved out of the county.

1. The great purge is afoot.

We will have to tell everyone to check and re-check their registration at vote.org and similar.

2. She should go to the supervisor of elections to reregister or verify her registration.

I do that often and especially every two years for mail in ballot. It takes five minutes in the office.
