4. Wasn't that the point of the "great purging" of 2018 and 2019?

The states' Attorneys General were all purging their voter registration roles, and eliminating any registered voters that didn't match the drivers' license IDs. It didn't matter if the voters were LEGAL and current, they got purged whenever something looked "fishy." For example if your name was "Robert" on your drivers' license but you were listed as "Bob" on your voter registration, you got purged. Anyone who moved, changed their name through marriage (or whatever,) or if you hadn't voted in the last 2 elections, you got purged.

This purging caused a lot of distress for citizens who weren't paying attention, and had no idea it was happening. They had to re-register to vote at least 30 days before the next election. But what if they didn't know they'd been purged? Those are the voters who were told they couldn't vote on election day, unless they used a "provisional ballot" that may-or-may-not be accepted later. (!!!)

Guess how many Dems vs. Repukes were kicked off the voter registration rolls? It was mostly Democrats, of course, because that was the whole point. More Dems are city dwellers, more likely to move or change jobs, get married (maybe) or go to college (maybe), so they were the ones who got purged in larger numbers.

MARK MEADOWS' fake-fake-fake NC voter registration should have been purged. Why wasn't it?
