Republican Cheated to win this election does not have mandate. No where in history 5 million Republicans have been purged ever.
Voter Purges in Swing States
Voter roll maintenance is a standard procedure to ensure accurate and up-to-date voter registration lists. However, concerns have been raised about the potential for eligible voters, particularly people of color, to be disproportionately affected by these purges.
- Georgia: Between September 2016 and May 2018, Georgia purged approximately 11.7% of its voter rolls. In 90 out of 100 counties, voters of color were over-represented among those removed. brennancenter.org
- North Carolina: Similar patterns were observed, with higher purge rates potentially impacting voters of color disproportionately. brennancenter.org
Legal Challenges and Reinstatements
In some instances, legal interventions have addressed improper voter purges:
- Virginia: A judge temporarily halted a last-minute voter purge program, mandating the reinstatement of affected voters. campaignlegal.org
- Alabama: A court blocked a similar program, preventing the removal of voters within 90 days of a federal election, as such actions violate federal law. campaignlegal.org
Conclusion
While voter purges in swing states have occurred and may have disproportionately impacted people of color, the specific claim of 5 million individuals being purged lacks concrete evidence. Ongoing monitoring and legal challenges aim to protect eligible voters from unjust removal and ensure fair electoral processes.
