klahoma election officials have removed more than 450,000 ineligible voters from the state’s rolls ahead of November’s election.

“Voting is our most sacred duty as Americans — and every Oklahoman wants to know their vote is securely cast and properly counted,” said Republican Gov. Kevin Stitt in a press release.

State election officials have removed 453,000 total ineligible voters since 2021, Stitt’s office announced Wednesday.

As part of “routine voter list maintenance,” the state has removed 5,607 felons, 14,993 duplicate registrations, 97,065 dead voters, and 143,682 voters who moved out of state, according to the release. During address verification, officials also canceled 194,962 inactive voters.

Will the ACLU file a suit on behalf of the dead?
 
Many Oklahoma voters are about to find out they've been removed and will need to vote provisionally.

Removing people from rolls after August should be illegal.

It's Oklahoma. Who gives a fuck.

Ineligible voters have no legal right to be in the voter rolls. Lawful voters who want to vote should register to vote.

There were eligible voters removed.

There always are.

And they rarely know that they were removed because they've never had issues in the past.

Voter roll maintenance can be done earlier in the year...no need to do so so close to the election. I continue to encourage friends and family to check their registration monthly.

I'll add....all election changes should be done prior to August or September 1. No changes should be allowed within 90 days.

How many, prove it.

"....since 2021..." This has been an ongoing process, nothing to do with after August. What's bettter, the article states that the state’s June primaries had a “100% voter verification match.” THIS is as it should be in every state.

Removing the deceased, identifying and removing duplicate registrations and removing voters who move out of state should be handled like this in EVERY state, as an ongoing process. Just as registering every voter should require proof of citizenship and proof of a valid address, and just as voting should require a Voter Registration slip and valid ID. Plus paper ballots to allow auditability and election results same night.

And there are easy ways to update addresses within state = drivers license address changes, post office change of address / mail forwarding, banks, IRS addresses, utility bills - feed address changes thru to electoral roll maintenance, and then send out voter eligibility forms to every registered voter well before the elections. It's done world wide and rocket science it is not. Quite a few countries have this down to a fine art and copying the successful processes is not rocket science either.

I know every state purges rolls per state law. It should not be able to be done so close to the election. Do it in Jan or Feb. That gives voters time to verify their registration and address being removed.

Exactly! And it should be an ongoing monthly process based on data feeds from relevant databases, along with mass mailouts months prior to elections to allow for updates and corrections - all of which should be completely politically neutral and focused on enrolling ALL eligible voters and removing ALL ineligible voters.

How many of those 450k are Dems? You have no idea because you choose to be an ignorant person.
 
I do Eligible voters are always removed during purges. Typically those with irregular voting patterns ...though usually they are removed due to mistakes.

And doing so close to the election means most won't know until election day.

Plenty of articles on this to find....here's one

Totally agree - this should NOT be done so close to elections, it should be well before and on a regular cycle.

It should not be monthly.

What would you suggest? I picked monthly because most processing cycles are weekly or monthly with things like changes of address. You can get feeds from utility companies easily enough on a monthly basis, and the same with drivers licenses, which are two of the best sources for change of address info - run those against electoral rolls and mail out / email out confirmation notices - Births and Deaths registry is a good way of handling deceased removals. I'm just doing this off the top of my head but there are any number pf examples to work from that work very successfully. All we need to do is take the best of those and clone them,

Anything more than monthly for automated processes like this introduces greater complexity, anything less is probably to frequent given there may be manual workload involved, but set a cutoff say 3 months before an election or something like that.... but you still want to make sure people moving out of state are removed, as are deceased. Anyhow, other countries do this sort of thing, it's not hard.

Yearly at most. Maybe every two years. No reason to waste resources.

All methods of purging have flaws. You will never be perfect. But you'll get the majority in your first go round.

They should just have automatic registration at the BMV as they do in some states ...it would also help if states shared their info (they won't, but they should)....most ineligible voters on the rolls are from people who moved.

It shouldn't matter at all if they're deceased, altho I acknowledge that could remove quite a few Democrat voters.
 
How many of those will be married women whose birth names don't match their voter registrations?

How many will be voters who are not registered Dems or GOP?

How many will be people who simply haven't voted for several cycles but are offended at the thought of having a rapist who takes money from Russia as President?
 
Yearly at most. Maybe every two years. No reason to waste resources.

Too infrequent, and if it's mostly automated, the resources don't matter and the electoral roll is kept up to date for snap elections but like I side, lots of good examples to copy that work just fine. No need to reinvent the wheel.

Absolutely. The important thing with the purging is to have standard easy to use processes to correct mistakes quickly.

Yeah, I agree that using BMV makes sense. They can do citizenship checks as part of that, that's easy. Passports, Birth Certs, whatever. Make it part of the process and no Proof of Citizenship, no added to voter rolls, that's all
 
You acknowledge that you believe the bullshit about deceased voters...yes

LOL. Recognize a joke when you see it, dude. LOL. There ARE states where it's an issue though, Oklahoma removed 97,065 dead voters. That's a lot. Just need the right processes in place to make sure these accusations CAN be negated, in a manner that's provable and consistent.

Removing dead voters doesn't mean people use those registrations to vote.

As I've said before....all states have their own frequency for voter roll maintenance.
