59. were those purges legal ? carried out according to agreed parameter and code?

(in which case it's not 'cheating' - nor remotely in the same category as 'bomb threats', correct? and, moreover - really doesn't even qualify as 'voter suppression'. )

Every state, by federal law, is required to update (and thus 'purge' ) voting rolls on a regular basis. My take would be (absent any solid evidence to the contrary) (and there crops up that pesky word 'evidence' again) that the vast majority of those names removed from the polls - were probably done for sound and honest reasons. And, as in any other state - anyone that is erroneously purged (not a frequent occurrence, but it can happen) - has every opportunity to validate and renew their registration for any election.

But, once again - that takes people willing to get off their butts - and go do it!
