City drops 105,000 names from voter registration rolls:
The City of Milwaukee has dropped about 105,000 names from its voter rolls after completing the first purge since 2001, city officials said Tuesday.
That represents about 23% of the 450,000 names that had been on the rolls. Officials had said they were unsure if a purge of the rolls had been conducted after the 2000 election.
As Weber and Dolan pointed out today, 450,000 registered voters represents over 80% of Milwaukee’s population. Men, women, and children.
So I apologize to my family members in St. Louis who might be disappointed to discover that I voted for Kerry in 2004 even though:
- I haven’t lived in the city of Milwaukee for 12 years.
- I didn’t actually ever register to vote in Milwaukee, since I did all my voting absentee in Missouri during my college years.
Hopefully, with this diligence on the part of the City of Milwaukee, though, I won’t vote for Chelsea Clinton in 2020.
