Well this is what i read, among a lot of other strange stuff, in the text further north:
"Between 2014 and 2016, 16 million voters across the United States have been removed from voter lists. Often in automated and sometimes proven faulty procedures. Sometimes all people who allegedly no longer live in the constituency are deleted. Thousands of people are being dropped, and the authorities say they are not eligible to vote because of a crime. For no apparent reason."
Thousands of voters in Brooklyn were sent back in New York's April 19, 2016 primary election because their names were no longer on voter lists. The cleanup of the lists may be fine if done correctly. And possibly also prevent electoral fraud. However, researchers at the Brennan Center for Justice have found that sometimes the cleanup itself is fraudulent in preventing unwanted voters from voting. Five states have illegally cleared their electoral roll over the past five years. And four states have enacted cleansing rules that are unlawful from the researchers' point of view. There, for example, voters are automatically deleted without informing them in advance and giving them an opportunity to object.
Of course what has become clear, if elections really changed something, they would be forbidden.
