That's a pretty bad take.
The other half the story is that the Dems object to every cleanup and always claim the Republicans are trying to suppress votes, but never have any suggestions on how to do it better, only "don't do it now" or "do it after the next election" in perpetuity. That's how blue states like Michigan end up with court orders requiring them to do cleanups (court orders which Michigan is violating).
- crooked-v 7y ago> blue states like Michigan Both houses of Michigan's state legislature have been Republican-controlled since 2011. Not much of an example of the Dems controlling voter rolls at the state level there.
- tathougies 7y agoThe governor is the primary responsible party for executing a court mandate, not the legislature. Is the governor republican?

- will4274 7y agoWell, my example pre-dates 2011, but that's hardly the point. The point is that Democrats object to legally mandated purging and cry foul regardless of whether or not the purging is fair. The Republicans sometimes deserve to look like the bad guys, but sometimes, they are just doing the proper legally mandated thing and get called the bad guys anyways.
