Purging the voting rolls is more a method to prevent cheating than it is a method of cheating itself.

While I agree with your statement about it being problematic, republicans have hones this down to an art form, how to disenfranchise democrat voters. If you haven't read the Rolling Stone article on this by Robert Kennedy Jr you should. They used multiple ways to disenfranchise democrat voters in Ohio in 2004. He delineates maybe about 20 ways it was done.

In my opinion it should be as illegal to disenfranchise a legitimate voter as it is to vote illegally, because the result is the same.

I am going to assume, Mr. Blackwell's "test" purge went to no-one registered GOP. His criteria is something I am trying to get a copy of now.

Even if it went to a statistically democratic majority area that is just as crooked. I agree with you. It should have to go to EVERYONE or no one at all.
