The truth about voter purging that Joy's guest just validated on her show is

something we know the right is doing but the level at which they are doing it is frightening and just criminal. Something needs to be done by the courts immediately or we will all be looking at President Donald Drumpf. The public outcry from organizations seems to be silent.

And not be purged.

They let Kathryn Harris get away with her 100,000 voter purge.

Business as usual.

Kindly back up your claims that the Dems in either Florida or the US Congress "let" Katheyn Harris purge voters. And how EVER using the tactics of that wannabe tinpot dictator Gingrich is justified?

Unless Rolling Stone is printing a phone book sized edition - the lists are not available as the people on them in each state (potentially millions) are being treated as guilty until proven innocent.

Donald Trump is right—the election IS rigged. And it’s his buddies who are rigging it. Rolling Stone has unearthed a confidential list of MILLIONS of voters who are marked to be purged, up to a million at risk by November. Who? Mostly, voters of color, i.e. Democrats.

On Friday, Rolling Stone will release on newsstands, “The GOP’s Secret War on Voters,” a year’s-long investigation by Greg Palast and a team of experts exposing a scheme by 29 Republican state voting officials to remove voters, a program directed by ultra-right Trump operative Kris Kobach Secretary of State of Kansas.

Taking off from Trump’s unsubstantiated claim that "people are voting many, many times," GOP officials are targeting voters who are allegedly voting or registered in two states and can therefore vote a second time in November. While voting twice is a felony crime, and less than 6 voters have been convicted of this crime, the GOP purge operation is removing tens of thousands of innocent voters as you read this.

Palast obtained the lists—kept "confidential" by states on grounds these millions are criminal suspects. According to database experts who have statistically analyzed the lists, the program is "dangerous" and "seriously biased against minorities." Already, the swings states with tight Senate races, Ohio, North Carolina and Arizona are quietly removing voters through this racially poisonous purge operation.

And I agree, the courts need to come down on these fuckers.

But someone has to bring it to court. Who? The very congresscritters who benefit?

I doubt it.
