Preliminary Injunction Entered in Justice Department Suit to Stop Alabama's Systematic Removal of Voters from Registrati

Source: DOJ Department Of Public Affairs

Alabama is Required to Stop Removals Between Now and Election Day and Must Return Unlawfully Deactivated Voters to Active Voter List


A federal court in the Northern District of Alabama has entered an order requiring the State of Alabama and the Alabama Secretary of State to cease a recently-implemented program to remove voters from Alabama’s voting rolls between now and the Nov. 5 general election. The court further ordered the State to issue guidance to all counties in Alabama to immediately restore deactivated voters unless those voters requested removal or are subject to removal for other reasons.

“This action sends a clear message that the Justice Department will work to ensure that the rights of eligible voters are protected,” said Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division. “The National Voter Registration Act’s 90 day Quiet Period Provision is an important safeguard to prevent erroneous eleventh-hour efforts that stand to disenfranchise eligible voters. The Justice Department remains steadfast in our resolve to protect voters from unlawful removal from the registration rolls and to ensure that states comply with the mandate of federal law.”

Individuals who are eligible voters and believe that they may have been wrongly removed from the voter rolls as a result of Alabama’s – or any other state’s – systematic removal process should contact the Civil Rights Division’s Voting Section through the internet reporting portal at www.civilrights.justice.gov or by telephone at 1-800-253-3931.

Nothing's changed since 1865. They sucked then and they suck now. Majority of white folk in many southern states.

Machiavellian Fascists.

Darwin Award Winning Fascists.

Delusional malevolence is not a respecter of race, ethnicity, ir gender.

I disagree with your broad assessment.

I am in Shreveport, LA and work with many groups of individuals of all skin colors and cultural heritage.

What you purport does not align with my reality.

Your brush is overly broad.

Here’s to a Blue Tsunami.

On that I’m certain that we agree.
Have a pleasant evening.

Think. Again.

It was clear that numerous states would be trying to continue purging voter rolls after the 90 day stop date (Virginia did it also and we don't know how many states have done it quietly), so there is no excuse for the doj to not have been prepared to file these injunctions immediately on August 6.
