5. You Haven't Been Purged, YET
Several of the swing states have been ignoring the deadline for purging voters.
If they purge people after the registration deadline, they are basically screwed.

8. It's Illegal, But It is Happening Anyway, and in SWING STATES!
Edited on Thu Oct-09-08 09:36 PM by AndyTiedye
Michigan and Colorado are removing voters from the rolls within 90 days of a federal election, which is not allowed except when voters die, notify the authorities that they have moved out of state, or have been declared unfit to vote.

The only recourse is to bring on the lawyers. LOTS of laywers!

4. Yes. Colorado Purged 37,000 Voters in Three Weeks
