I’m 45 and have voted in every single government election since I turned 18. Never missed one and my voter status never changed through about six address moves. I do jury duty every few years and never try to get out of it. Well, I checked yesterday and I had been purged. No notification, no warning. I’ve done nothing whatsoever to warrant this. All I can assume is that me buying my first home and moving last year was used as a reason to kick me off the voter list. I moved less than ten miles and am still in the same state and county. I wasn’t kicked off for any of my six address changes in the past. Yes, I was registered as a Democrat.
Republicans are in a mass effort to purge voters in almost all states for the most minute of reasons. Yeah, we kind of knew this but it’s even happening in the bluest of blue states like California (my state)
Someone I semi-know through a friend has not been purged so far, and he has a drug felony on record! Only got out of jail two years ago. (Has been clean since to my knowledge.) Shouldn’t he have been kicked off the voter list long ago?? Why did I get kicked and not him?
He is a registered Republican.
I resubmitted my registration right away but it’ll take a few weeks to ‘work.’ CHECK YOUR STATUS! CHECK IT TWICE A WEEK UNTIL ELECTION DAY!

PLEASE feel free to copy/paste this post and spread it to other subs!
Update: from the comments it is obvious that the purges focus on people with surnames that aren’t traditionally cacasion.
I just feel it is important to push forward everywhere. Hope I posted right, I’m new around here (“that site” refugee)

What does it have to do with AI?
Richards helped organize online video demonstrations throughout the spring and summer to train activists, including Lee, who attended one in June. In all, hundreds of volunteers nationwide have listened to how they could soon use the software, called EagleAI NETwork, to scan publicly available databases to identify “irregularities” with voter registrations and flag them to county officials.
FTA!
One of those hit with challenges was James McWhorter, who received a letter at the barbershop he manages in the middle of October from DeKalb County informing him that someone had challenged his voter status. The challenger, a woman named Gail Lee, argued McWhorter improperly registered to vote at a commercial address and snapped photos of his barbershop, which is located inside an Atlanta-area Kroger supermarket, as evidence
I think OP meant to write “GOP using gAIl to purge voters”
What does FTA mean?

Did… did you just add AI to spice up the post?
Welcome to the fediverse. And yes we all need to be alert, make sure our registrations are current, win by an historic landslide like has never been seen before, and still fight to make it stick. That’s what it’s gonna take to just begin.
“I believe it’s what God wants me to do,” Lee said. “He knows what’s right and what’s wrong and there’s things that need to be fixed in the voter rolls.”
Christianity strikes again!
What’s the algorithm, anyone who has different color parents?
It cross references publicly available information with voter registration, it’s an LLM for pattern matching, not AI. But, once flagged, they report the voter. They only check Democrats.
You can confirm you’re voting rights here
For any others in Minnesota; if you haven’t you can sign up to be automatically sent a mail in ballot by going through the registration process (again, or if it’s your first time.) there’s a very innocuous tick-box for it, (and it takes 5 minutes to do.)
