How about we illegally purge voters from the rolls within 90 days of an election, ignore injunctions to stop illegal behavior, use flawed and prejudicial algorithms as the basis for the purge and ignore all the people who point out the very much alive and eligible voters that we've disenfranchised. We'll call it Florida. The right to vote is important. One of the most important we have. I do not believe that anyone should ever be punished for not voting, a right is a right even if you do not exercise it. I'd like to see a lot more focus from all sides, however, on getting everyone out and voting rather than trying to distract and divide and suppress the vote in the most duplicitous name of "integrity".
