Rick Karlin, The Times Union: "Jokes about people voting early and often aside, some 1.6 million names are being removed from New York's voting rolls by Election Day - a loss of 14 percent of the state's previous tally of 12 million voters. The removals, in which people are purged because they've died or moved from their listed address or simply become inactive, may be the largest sweep of registration records in recent memory, according to an elections watchdog."

Sorry, I Can't Find Your Name

The New York Times: "Before Mississippi's March presidential primary, one county election official improperly removed more than 8,000 voters from the eligible-voter rolls, including a Republican Congressional candidate. Fortunately, the secretary of state's office learned of the purge in time and restored the voters."
