Conservative activists target eligible voters in voter roll purge
Originally Published 2 years ago — by CBS News
Conservative activists, fueled by doubts about the 2020 election, are targeting eligible voters in an effort to purge voter rolls ahead of the 2024 presidential election. These activists are scrutinizing state voter lists for registration errors to file voter challenges, which tend to affect minority or younger voters who are statistically more likely to vote Democrat. The challenges, often based on administrative errors and technical violations, have resulted in the removal of thousands of voters from the rolls. Critics argue that these challenges are meritless and disproportionately impact marginalized communities, while activists claim they are protecting the integrity of the voter rolls.
