SCOTUS just came down and upheld Ohio's removal of voting registration for people who didn't vote. This is blatant contradiction of the NVRA passed in 1993. SCOTUS just made it markedly easier for states to disenfranchise voters.

So you have to vote once in four years, or fill out a card saying you're still in the place you are registered in, or update your status online (still within that four year window). What am I missing here about disfranchisement?

:ssh: Not to bring up a slippery slope argument, but it was used to purge active voters in minority districts.

What, you honestly thought they were just doing it by the book and not using it as an underhanded tactic to weaken opposing districts? Silly man.

Let's say I don't vote in a midterm. Then I don't receive or notice a letter. Yeah, it'd feel pretty loving bullshit to show up to vote next election and find out they dropped me from the roles and it's too late to re-register.

Generally speaking, determining that unless someone uses a right, they should just have it quietly stripped away unless they spend time and paperwork getting the right back is pretty bad.

I'd be fine with this if every state had same day voter registration.

But they don't so the goal here is pretty transparent.

Like almost every single thing used to remove someone from voting rolls or prevent someone from voting, there are plausible sounding options so that moderate white people will just say "sounds good enough" without exposing the real purpose and intent.

This is was the voter roll purge is about. There is no fraud nor is it illegal to be on voting rolls in multiple places. It's only illegal if you try to vote in multiple. This happens at a frequency of 1-2 people per election or so in the entire country. There are a lot of times people have to vote on provisional ballots or mail in ballots and whoops the guy checking the records didn't look at those types of ballots so suddenly you didn't vote for 4 years and we had to have sent the card because it's automatic so delete.

Every single voting integrity law passed at the state level is a thin veneer over an attempt to keep the wrong people from voting. This is the exact same type of poo poo they used during Jim Crow, and it's the reason the VRA and NVRA were passed in the 60s and 90s.

Yeah. That would go a long way toward keeping it halfway honest. Especially if coupled with same day absentee registration/voting if the reason you missed the vote last time was something like work out of state/country, military service, whatever, but you still legally only vote in your past location.

Take voter ID laws, for example. They're done entirely to prevent less affluent people from voting because getting appropriate ID is a disproportionate burden to them. To your average white person, going to the DMV to get a free ID doesn't sound like a real problem. However, states then do things to surreptitiously restrict access to those free IDs like various southern states closing DMV offices in all of the majority black areas of the state for "budgetary" reasons.

Actual voting fraud in the USA is so infrequent that it could be effectively called non-existant. Further, the group bitching about voting fraud (conservatives) are the most frequent group to commit said fraud.

Case and point: Alabama, which implemented Voter ID laws, then closed nearly three quarters of their DMVs, making it extremely difficult to get an ID.

I was purged from the voter roll once without any knowledge.
Never received the card either.
Found out when I went to vote and couldn't. Couldn't vote in that election.
That election for my state representative was a draw and they literally drew straws to decide it. I would have been the deciding vote. So on a local level especially it can really make a difference. They quietly purge the rolls and hope no one notices.
