Considering what happens when people in this country vote, perhaps we should purge more of them.

AFK's should be removed - if they want to vote they can, y'know, just go register again...

So long as re-registration is easy enough to not be any sort of a barrier to people looking to get back into voting, I'm actually not opposed to the idea of cutting down on the amount of paper that gets sent out. If it's just going to be ignored anyway, might as well not waste the effort and resources. I'm not sure doing it automatically is the best way to go, though. Giving inactive voters an opt-out option would probably be better, even if it'd result in a lower deactivation rate than doing it automatically.

Relatively painless, like half an hour extra to do, tops? Plenty of people won't even realize they can't vote till election day when they show up. If so, then fine. But if that can't be done, then this is really bad. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Considering what happens when people in this country vote, perhaps we should purge more of them. The 2016 election voter turnout was abysmal. This is just a sleazy way to give old people the edge, people who already vote more than young people. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

If you haven't voted in years, you have no legitimate reason to gripe about being removed from voting lists.

Since when is doing one's civic duty such a burden?

Yeah, I can't say that I see much of an issue especially given that the law was designed to fix an existing problem.
BlackScythe0 posted... ParanoidObsessive posted...Considering what happens when people in this country vote, perhaps we should purge more of them. Wouldn't the reverse be true? If it's just political insiders voting, that favors establishment candidates. adjl posted... Giving inactive voters an opt-out option would probably be better, even if it'd result in a lower deactivation rate than doing it automatically. It wasn't meant to purge people for being inactive, it was designed more to correct outdated records. When people move or die, their names can still show in the system (or, at least, that's how it was explained during the NPR segment) Yellow posted... ParanoidObsessive posted...Considering what happens when people in this country vote, perhaps we should purge more of them. idk, seems like it would favor the young because they're more likely to have recently enrolled in the first place. Given that the focal point of the story is a voter who is noted as having voted in 2004, it's not likely that he's all that young. Plus he was going out to vote against marijuana legalization, which also suggests that he's older (since it's more of a hotbutton issue for young voters) --- (\/)(\/)|-| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. ...

If you haven't voted in years, you have no legitimate reason to gripe about being removed from voting lists. In practice, I suppose, but not in principle. While the fact that he didn't vote may have triggered the post card, the real issue was just confirming his details not kicking him for not voting. Andromicus posted... As always it's in the interest of decreasing Democratic voters lolwut? TyVulpine posted... But if you don't vote, that allows people like Trump into office.

I think we need more accessibility to information on the issues and what the candidates goals are. And by information I don't mean the smear campaigns that pop up in advertising around election time. All this law is going to do is create more voters that are uninformed.
