Question about voter purging
Once again, I need to ask a question that most of you have probably known the answe to since high school (my excuse, as always, being that I am an immigrant who has only been in this country 5 years and doesn't know all the minutae of election law). My question is this: is there a deadline for the Republicans to purge likely Democratic voters from the voter rolls, or could they do it the day before the election, meaning that even people who double-checked to make sure they were registered could still be turned away on election day?

1. Legally, they are not allowed to do "systematic" purges 90 days before...
...a federal election.

States interpret "systematic" in different ways.

And some states are just ignoring that law.
