8. Don't let your guard down: the GOP has passed it at state level in numerous states
Thu Jun 4, 2026, 10:33 PM

The state level bills require the state elections bureau to utilize federal government provided lists to purge voter rolls.

There’s an executive order (issued on March 31st IIRC) requiring the post office to ensure that they don’t deliver ballots to people that are not properly registered voters, and specifically requires the post office to create an ‘approved voter list’ (together with social security administration) — which can then be used to purge voters in accordance with state lists.
