Federal law requires a time frame for when this should be done with very narrow exceptions.

H.R.2 - National Voter Registration Act of 1993

(snip)

2(A) A State shall complete, not later than 90 days prior
to the date of a primary or general election for Federal office
,
any program the purpose of which is to systematically remove
the names of ineligible voters from the official lists of eligible
voters.

(snip)


Let's not let the desire to lecture on "click bait" preclude actual awareness of the law and what is actually in it.

This has some details on what NC did - https://www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/north-carolina-election-boards-remove-over-700000-ineligible-voters/



However, there is actually an active case filed by the RNC demanding that the state remove even more (200K+ ) - https://www.democracydocket.com/cases/north-carolina-voter-registration-identification-challenge/

There is a lot of discussion in this thread denigrating people who are questioning purges BumRushDaShow Sep 2024 #32

The concern might be with a CURRENT RNC case against NC registrants BumRushDaShow Sep 2024 #34
That sounds unreasonable in the extreme. Joinfortmill Sep 2024 #4

747,000 over 20 months. My math skills aren't great but I think that's around 37,350/month or less than 1/2 of 1 percent onenote Sep 2024 #15
Why are they allowed to do this RIGHT before an election? forgotmylogin Sep 2024 #18
