1. Let me guess the race, the color, and or the party of those that were purged.

Republicans have to cheat to win even in red states.

3. If the stats below are correct, it doesn't sound too bad.

"OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) – Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt alongside state election officials announced on Wednesday the removal of over 453,500 voter registrations.

"Since January 1, 2021, officials say Oklahoma election officials have removed 97,065 deceased voters, 143,682 voters who moved out-of-state, 5,607 felons, 14,993 duplicate registrations, and 194,962 inactive voters who were canceled during the address verification process.

And according to Oklahoma Law, even if the voter is purged, they can still vote in the election.

". . . . . . Voters who do not respond to the confirmation mailing or whose mailing is returned as nonforwardable or undeliverable as addressed shall be designated as inactive sixty (60) days after the mailing.

B. An inactive voter's status shall be changed to active under the following conditions:

1. With any registration change initiated by the voter; or

2. By voting in any election conducted by a county election board.

An inactive voter who does not vote in any election conducted by a county election board during the period beginning on the date of the confirmation mailing and ending on the day after the date of the second successive general election for federal office shall be removed as a registered voter and all the information on that voter shall be destroyed. Each county election board secretary shall maintain a list of the names and addresses of all persons sent a confirmation mailing as described in this section and information on whether or not each such person has responded to the notice. The list shall be maintained for twenty-four (24) months following the date of the second successive federal general election after the date of the confirmation mailing. . . . . ."

4. Did you expect them to have a category for "Voters We Purged For Our Own Political Reasons"?

5. Read the law. The purged -- probably because they moved elsewhere-- can still vote by voting.
