Currently, purging voter rolls uses the standard of multi-cycle inactivity, relocation, or death. What is concerning is the desire to hold on to these extra names. Relocation or death should not restrict this process, rather be the reason to maintain accurate records.
Increasing Voter Engagement
Expansion of early voting, two weeks prior at 10 hours a day, should quickly increase voter engagement. Purging voter rolls and utilizing ID’s would simplify this process, while increasing election integrity. These steps would increase the trustworthiness of the system leading to less disenfranchised voters.
It appears legislators would rather continually loosen restrictions, rather than correct known concerns. Ultimately, politicians seek to keep power amongst themselves rather than trusting voters. These will not increase the faith among the disenfranchised or bring the needed unity to the people. The voice of the people is paramount.
