The Brennan Center has issued a press release via email (not yet online), which begins: “Today the Brennan Center for Justice at NYU School of Law released one of the first systematic examinations of voter purging, a practice — often controversial — of removing voters from registration lists in order to update state registration rolls. After a detailed study of the purge practices of twelve states, Voter Purges reveals that election officials across the country are routinely striking millions of voters from the rolls through a process that is shrouded in secrecy, prone to error, and vulnerable to manipulation. Upon the release of Voter Purges, the Brennan Center and the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law began filing public records requests with election officials in 12 states in order to expose the states’ purge practices.” More information about the report is here.
