OK, let's go into this because at first glance the release says they purged the rolls over the last 20 months. They just announced it this week. I have a few questions not addressed in the article.
There was a recent Republican lawsuit against the State Board of Elections (SBOE) for not sufficiently purging the rolls. This press release came out after the lawsuit was filed. Is this the response to the lawsuit in the public arena? If there was no lawsuit would there not have been any press release?
They purged 747K voters and now have 7.7MM voters on the rolls. That's a 10% purge. What would be expected due to their stated reasons of:
Death
Moving out of state
Felony convictions
Not voting in last 2 federal cycles (inactive) Seems like a short window assuming this is only 4 years.
Moved in state and did not update the registration
They state "the majority of those stripped from the rolls were deemed ineligible to be registered because they had moved within the state and did not register their new address, or because they did not participate in the past two federal elections, prompting an inactive status." These are the flimsiest of the reasons on the list above.
What is the breakdown by county, congressional district, etc?
