Email Dept of Justice and ask for investigation of "interstate crosscheck."

Here is email link to DOJ contact:

https://www.justice.gov/doj/webform/your-message-department-justice

Here is a sample email you can send:

Dear Attorney General Lynch:

Please investigate "interstate crosscheck," which may have purged thousands of registered voters from voting lists in many states.

Please try to complete such an investigation before Donald Trump takes office, and issue as complete a report as possible.

Sincerely,

About thousands being turned away from voting on election day because they suddenly found out they were no longer registered. I'll try to find a link.

to believe it merits an investigation.

Possible voter suppression of any kind needs to be investigated and rooted out if it exists...

Do you actually believe that the DOJ is not aware of this? They have an entire division (Civil Right Division) which handles stuff like this. These are career civil servants who decide to bring actions based on the facts rather than the number of emails, Facebook likes or retweets an issue gets.

I think sending a message that there are some of us out here who would like to see this could be helpful. Why remain so quiet? Why assume someone is fighting for you?

It's way past the time Dems got loud.
