The active registered voters with the Florida Democratic Party fell by 467,337 voters or nearly 10 percent. The active registered voters with the Republican Part of Florida decreased by 153,369 or approximately three percent.

The overall number of voters purged from the rolls is likely to increase after Decembers data is collected, according to the South Florida Sun Sentinel, due to routine list maintenance.

However, the decline in registered voters is concerning to some heading into this years election season as people brace for a highly contentious presidential race and hot-button issues like abortion are expected to be on the state ballot.

      I’ve already been purged & re-added. For some reason I thought all of the voter rolls were purged here.

      My mother has been as well, but since she’s a Trump supporter & doesn’t consume any legitimate news, she doesn’t know & I’m not telling her.

      EDIT: My mistake, it was mail in voting access, not regular ballot access.

      Its a powerful and effective strategy, so the Florida GOP will keep doing it until someone stops them.

      Three Presidents after the Brooks Brothers Riot and nobody at the top seems interested in trying.
