Trial Balloon · Ep. 190: Trump Is Everywhere

Almost 16 Million Removed from Voter Rolls

May 15, 2019 · 7:18 am ET · Leave a Comment

Joe Davidson: “Among the worst practices are those that rob Americans of the franchise because of errors, overly aggressive attempts to clean voting lists and voting roll manipulation designed to influence elections and political power.”

“Between 2014 and 2016, states removed almost 16 million voters from the rolls. That’s almost 4 million more than between 2006 and 2008. And it should be obvious that that is a rate that outstrips the growth rate of total registered voters and the growth rate of total population.”
