It won’t be anything new. In 2014 I voted in Atlantic Beach Florida. The poling station was in the City hall. I received my ballot by a man that asked to see photo ID so I gave it to him. He gave me the ballot after using a yellow highlite marker on “Democrat” which for some reason was on the ballot. I tried for near a year to find out what that was about and no local, state or federal office gave a damn. Like any Democrat with half a brain in this state I checked my voter status a few months before the 2016 election. I was told I was not a registered voter. I asked why and was given the usual crap …“we must have sent a letter to you and you did not answer”. I asked the guy if there was a reason for removing me from the rolls associated with my name in his database. He said no.
Atlantic Beach is a small community ( my side of it…the other is Mayport Naval base which is huge ) and I own a prominent business right on the city’s main drag, less than a mile from city hall. I am a thorn in governments side, the current GOP’er troll of a mayor Mr. Reeves will testify to that, so the likelihood they thought I’d left town is zero. The nature of my work requires frequent government inspection as well. They knew I was there. My Biz licenses and professional license are all active and at that addy. They knew I was here.
In Florida you have a right to know why you were removed from the voter rolls. If they sent a latter they must provide you with a copy of it. My mail is received by my reception staff and office manager. No way a letter slid by. And so far they cannot find any letter. Without it there is no legal way they could have cut me from the rolls. ( the letter method is caging and illegal in many states ) They are “still working on it”. So, any system a state puts in place can be used to target democratic voters and there’s little that can be done about it. Provisional ballots are never counted. They boot you and then bury the reasons in admistrivia and delay. I was able to get back on the rolls in time to vote. But many I’m sure found out on election day and were given provisional ballots. Their votes did not count.
Again the same old game. Get your foot in the door, then walk in and turn the place into a mess. Then sort it out to your liking.
