WHAT HAPPENS WHEN VOTER ROLLS ARE CLEANED UP? THE FLORIDA CASE STUDY

This blog is dedicated to anyone who still wonders why Democrats are so hell-bent to prevent voter rolls from being cleaned up.

Excerpted from Ed Dean’s article at Florida Daily:

At a recent Central Florida Democratic club meeting, a committee member said he was outraged at what the state GOP is doing to purge voter rolls.

“If we lose any close elections this year and the abortion amendment, you can blame (Gov) DeSantis and his party for rigging the outcomes due to his bill of suppressing voter turnout,” said the committee member. 

The new Florida state law says, ‘The supervisor of elections must conduct a general registration list maintenance program to protect the integrity of the electoral process by ensuring the maintenance of accurate and current voter registration records in the statewide voter registration system.’

‘A registration list maintenance program must be conducted by each supervisor, at a minimum, once each year, beginning no later than April 1, and must be completed at least 90 days before the date of any federal election.’ Supervisors must send notices to voters who have not participated in the last two general elections. If those voters do not respond, they get moved to the inactive list, also known as purging the voter rolls.

Because of this, Florida Democrats have a reason to be worried. Earlier this year, numbers from the Florida Department of State show that active registered voters in the State decreased by almost 1 million from 2022 to 2023. Florida Democratic registered voters dropped by 467,337, around 10 percent. Republican registered voters saw their numbers decrease by 53,369, 3 percent.

Hmmmmm.

The more up-to-date the voter rolls are, the more Democrats lose ground.

That just might say something about something, mightn’t it?

You decide.
