    And how do you re-check that eligibility? Is every state supposed to send a postcard to every voter every thirty days, and require every voter to respond affirmatively to prove they are still at that address? That is so monumentally absurd it’s source could only be The Heritage Foundation.

      If I was tasked with that, I would go down the list and verify that the document submitted has still been submitted. That is, instantly check off everyone in one go.

      I supposed if you wanted to be thorough you could pick out the people who used a passport that is now expired, and send them a reregistration postcard or do it on voting day. Because I live in a sane state that has same-day voting registration.

        It’s interesting that same day registration ban wasn’t in the packet. Normally policies that actually make registration convenient for the public is something the republicans don’t want
