Wisconsin to remove up to 188,000 from voter rolls because they have not voted in 4 years

36. And that 30-day notification gets sent by mail where it may take three weeks to arrive.

Or it gets lost or gets put in someone else’s mailbox and never gets delivered. I get someone else’s mail almost every week. If it’s junk, I toss it. If it’s a neighbor’s mail, I deliver it. Otherwise it goes back to the post office to be delivered (hopefully) to the right person. The notice only gets sent once, so people who never receive them don’t even know their registrations are being cancelled.

There should be other ways to verify whether people have moved. People should be able to update their voter registration when they renew a driver’s license. For non-drivers, a different method could be found. Voting is the right of every citizen, and once registered to vote no one should be kicked off the voting rolls just because they haven’t voted in awhile. Four years is especially too short a time.
