Voter purges spark alarm over disenfranchisement risk
Patricia Lopez argues aggressive roll purges by Republican governors including Oklahoma's Kevin Stitt and Texas' Greg Abbott threaten turnout. She notes 450000 Oklahomans purged since 2021 and 1100000 in Texas, with suspensions for nonvoters and moves. She cites DOJ scrutiny, lawsuits, and studies linking purges to lower participation, urging protections for eligible voters.
