Some state-level Republicans purged the hell out of voter rolls in some Republican states. All one needed to do to steal the 2016 election was win enough swing states.
"Interstate Voter Registration Crosscheck (commonly referred to as IVRC or
Crosscheck) was a
database in the United States which aggregated
voter registration records from multiple
states to identify voters who may have registered or voted in two or more states [<= bullshit excuse to purge voter rolls]. Crosscheck was developed in 2005 by
Kansas Secretary of State Ron Thornburgh in conjunction with
Iowa,
Missouri, and
Nebraska. In December 2019, the program was suspended indefinitely as part of a settlement
[1] of a lawsuit filed by the
American Civil Liberties Union of Kansas challenging Kansas' management of the program. Prior to Crosscheck's legally mandated suspension, a dozen states had withdrawn from the program citing the inaccurate data and risk of violating voters' privacy rights. Crosscheck was also accused
[2] of facilitating unlawful purges of voters in a racially discriminatory manner."
