voters off the voting rolls then there should be hell to pay for those doing it.
At least if it is as he says.
I can't believe that the system would be that flawed that they would be flagging James Evans Johnson in one state as the same as a James P. Johnson in another state, with a different social security #, and kicking them both off the voter rolls.
Crosscheck lists him registered in Ohio as Donald Alexander Webster Jr., while registered a second time as Donald Eugene Webster (no "Jr.") in Charlottesville, Virginia. Webster says he's never been a "Eugene" and has never been to Charlottesville. I explained that both he and his Virginia doppelgänger were subject to losing their ability to vote.
I can't imagine states finding out how bad the system is, assuming it is as bad as he is saying, and not dropping that crosscheck system like a hot potato.
I also can't imagine that people would both be crooked enough to deliberately do that AND think that they could get away with it. I can't imagine the courts upholding something like that.
I would also think that the people who were expunged from the voter rolls in that way would raise 7 kinds of hell at the polling places on the day of election. I imagine that most states would have a system like Missouri's where people could vote with a provisional ballot and let the fact checkers dig into it if they need to.
