2024 Presidential Election | ELECTION DAY 2024

Is 747,000 over 20 months more or less than normal? Annualized, it is roughly 5% of the total. People die, move, get convicted of felonies, or don't vote for 8 years. I just don't know if 5% a year is an unusually high total or not?

Do you know if the state reaches out to purged voters to let them know of the purging? Or do voters just get to the booth and find out they are not registered? And if that happens, are they allowed to cast provisional ballots and get unpurged or are they just turned away?

To answer some of my own questions, 19 million were purged nationwide between 2020 and 2022. Assuming that is a two-year period and not a three-year period, that would be about 9.5 million a year, which would be consistent with NC's 500k a year.

Voter Purges

Voter purges are an often-flawed process of cleaning up voter rolls by deleting names from registration lists. The Brennan Center works to ensure that they are nondiscriminatory and do not disenfranchise eligible voters.

If you want to read up a little more about how states use ERIC to find the names to purge, but which was then attacked by Trump as being part of a liberal front, read:

Attacks on Voter Rolls and How to Protect Them

Election deniers are targeting best practices for maintaining accurate rolls and proposing dangerous “alternatives.”

My grandmother died in 2013, but she's all in for Harris.

Have her vote early and often

X number of people were purged from rolls the past 20 months. I’ll bet 1/3 were Dems; 1/3 were Pubs and 1/3 were Indy.
If the reasons given for the purge is accurate, all three groups of voters are represented in the purge.

Of the 7 million + registered voters in NC, which party has more? Dem, Pub or Indy?

You guessed it: Indy at 36%
Dems at 33%
Pubs at 30%

Now, with that said, of those purged, if an inordinate amount were purged from only one party… somethings fishy.

I could see fewer indies purged as it wasn't as popular decades prior

But the purge they'e talking about was 20 months ago not 20 years

Yes but given that younger not dying voters are more likely independent than those now feeding trees....

I think "Kamala's Wins" and I use the word "huge" in different ways. To me, "huge" implies significance.

I honestly feel sorry for Zelensky having to stand next to a man who as president will sell out and gladly give his entire nation to the Russians if he's elected. The Ukrainians have put up a truly heroic defense of their homeland - remember when many experts thought they would be conquered by the Russians in a few weeks? - and now they may be on the verge of losing everything because Americans may soon be electing a Putin stooge into the Oval Office who will do Putin's bidding and cut off all military aid to Ukraine and take Russia's side in the conflict. But thanks to the fact that it's an election year Zelensky no doubt had pressure to meet with Trump as well as Biden and Harris.

Feel like it was just a couple days ago that I said I can't believe we're in the 40s. 39 days to go? Election will be here in the blink of an eye...

And sooooo much can happen between now and then.

The problem is we can't afford to give Ukraine aid AND build an "iron dome" to protect our entire country.

America first,baby !

A revision of Reagan's infamous "Star Wars" defense shield that would shoot down all those Soviet missiles before they hit us. Never implemented, of course.

That, at least, had a theoretical chance of working. This is just stupidity incarnate.

Well said. Couldn’t agree more.

Trump threatens to prosecute Google for some co piracy theory (maybe by one of his handlers to placate him?)?
