(1,631 posts)And I did hear this report on NPR which sounded a tad complicated in that some may have been wrongly removed but not all. It does say they can register until election day, though, so they should be able to provide their proof of citizenship by then.
Their DMV system sounds screwed up and needs to be fixed. This stood out:
Carolina Diaz Tavera, a naturalized U.S. citizen whose voter registration was canceled but who does not appear on the list of voters removed after Aug. 7, filed a declaration in the lawsuit saying she is concerned the state removed her from the voter rolls due to outdated DMV records since she was a legal resident when she got her driver's license.
So that sounds like she was not a citizen when she got her license which led to the problem with her. The others sound like it was the format of the form, itself. Fix it!
I think the voter registration systems in all states need to be reworked so this can't happen anymore and voter registration should be tied to birth certificates or naturalization, somehow. It can't be that hard.
