GOP push to rid dead, illegal voters from rolls

Republicans are mounting an aggressive pre-election bid to cleanse dead and illegal voters from state lists in time for the fall election. “It is an utterly intolerable situation,” said Republican elections lawyer Christian Adams.

It’s a serious problem in many states. Take Michigan as an example. Secretary of State Ruth Johnson told a conference of national election officials last week that one problem she faces is that non-citizens eligible for driver’s licenses often also sign up to vote even though they are barred from participating in elections.
