system which red states use to purge voters. Crosscheck identifies voters who have same last name in different states and strikes them from the rolls. Of course , all the last names targeted are names like Hernandez, Cheng, Jackson .... First names could be totally different, doesn't matter.

Trump is clearly sick and unfit for office in any regard.
