About theft of an election through pulling people off the voting rolls: It's important to educate voters about the purges, but maybe a better strategy is to inform them how this happens in their state and county. Let's tell them how it could happen to them.

I tried to get information on where I live and was not successful last year during covid days (people were working remotely). Then I also contacted local, state, and national officials of the League of Women Voters. They seemed a likely way to get out the word on purge policies. No one got back to me. I know they have dropped registering voters in many states due to Republican backlash with threats of arrest and fines for a simple mistake.

Of course we need to tell people to check their registration, but if you want to fire them up to get active, show them what they are up against. This could work, especially if the policies are unreasonable. I got postcards from the county clerk when I renewed my plates and driver's license. Thought it a bit strange that it had never happened before. Probably not malicious but certainly they are doing something new, and I'd like to know the whole picture.
