How Republicans Pulled Off a Massive Voter Purge

17 million American voters have vanished from electoral rolls. Why? Because states purge electoral rolls of ineligible voters just before elections. Yet Greg Palast, an investigative reporter who has been digging into vanishing votes for years, tells AJ+ that eligible voters have been struck from the rolls too.

Often, people have had their votes purged without them even knowing.

“There’s no question that this attack on the voter rolls is affecting voters of color and young people. Asian Americans, African Americans, Hispanic voters are being removed by the hundreds of thousands from the voter rolls of America. And this could absolutely change the outcome of the election.”

Greg Palast on how voter purging is going to affect the 2020 elections.
