        Same happened to me in 2012. I'm a Republican. Was deployed to Afghanistan and of course never got or responded to the card in the mail confirming my eligibility prior to their disenrolling me. I found out when I tried to vote for Mitt on Election Day.

        My British then-girlfriend-now-wife happened to be with me. That was her first experience with American elections - me getting turned away from the polls.

        Don't hold your breath. It's controlled by fat cat Democrats.

        Yeah they did that to me during the Clinton/Trump electorate I had to literally re-register to vote or rather prove that my vote should have counted 🤦🏽‍♀️

        Please check your voter registration status in advance of today's #NYPrimary: https://www.brennancenter.org/voter-registration-status … Remember the 2016 Democratic Primary irregularities? Remember how NYC illegally purged 200,000 voters in Brooklyn? http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/board-elections-admit-purged-200-000-voters-rolls-article-1.3586490 … It happened—and can happen again!

        The Constitution needs an affirmative right to vote amendment.

        Yes, but this is something else. Today has revealed a lot of problems with the voter rolls and also the state’s database.
