Your Voter Registration Has Been Purged!
Or has it? In many states, during the runup to the November 5th, 2024 election, millions of voters' registrations are being systematically deleted, changed to "inactive" or purged altogether, using a variety of criminal, GOP schemes to target voters whom they expect to not vote their way. We will get to our polling places only to find that we are no longer registered or are only entitled to vote a provisional ballot. The net effect will be that the great majority of those victims among us won't have our votes counted, thus our country may be stolen from us once and for all. Check yours now! But read Joyce Vance's one-page, expert advice first:

Every voter needs to verify their registration status now that we’re inside of 90 days and make a screenshot proof of it as insurance. Dropping registrations for federal elections inside of 90 days is illegal under the National Motor Voter Act. Checking now gives us time to fight back.
Vote.gov and IWillVote.com are the easy ways to find the right website for any voter! Remember those URLs! Spread the word!
Here's a great way to spread the word. Email software lets you add a default "signature" at the end of each email you write. For example Mail app for iOS has a simple control for doing this in Settings > Mail > Signature. Mail in macOS has more options than in iOS. Browser-based GMail has even fancier controls for this, though they're a little trickier to find and configure. For example, mine will say this:
Harris for President 2024

Here's one of the ways that the GOP is erasing our right to vote: "Democracy Undone: The Texas Placebo Ballot Plot", from Thom Hartmann:

And another: "The Real Election Issue: 44,000 Vigilante Vote Challengers", from Greg Palast:

And a third: "Georgia launches new voter registration cancellation website — then leaks data of EVERY GA voter!" again from Thom Hartmann

Don't let them steal your world. If any crime should be a capital one, stealing the votes of other citizens belongs at the top of the list, for democracy is our most valuable asset of all, whether we realize it or not.
Here's one more critical piece, from the Brennan Center For Justice, on the avalanche of anti-voting rights laws assaulting our most important right of all (the one upon which all the others ultimately depend):
