you must have voted hundreds of times in the November, 2016 election. Voting records will prove that. You voted several times in your own state and hundreds of times in other states. Of course not, you say. Nobody could be that stupid, right?
Yet, that's the strategy that's being used to purge voters. Except, they're really looking for other common names than those. Names that end in -ez or a vowel. Jose Martinez and Miguel Garcia. Like that. Or Jackson Brown or Oscar White. Clearly anyone with names like that who appear on voter rolls in multiple states, or even within single states are clearly fraudulent. So they get purged.
And never mind if your name is Mohamed Abdi or Singh Patel. I mean there can't be more than one of those in the country, right, so if multiple votes were cast by people with those names, they're certainly fraudulent.
Such is the strategy that is being used to purge voters.
