Stop the Virginia Voter Purge!
People For the American Way
Stop the purge of the VA voter rolls -- You must not let thousands of potentially eligible voters be removed from the rolls and disenfranchise without any warning.
Why is this important?
With the clock ticking down to the important state elections in November, Virginia is attempting to eliminate voters from the rolls who are also registered in other states -- ostensibly to stop "fraud." But Virginia city and county voter registrars have already noted a high error rate in the lists of voters identified by the state board of elections as registered to vote in other states. The purge could disenfranchise thousands of eligible voters and get them removed from the voter roles *without any warning to them whatsoever.*
