One Voice, the Mississippi NAACP, and other voter rights organizations crunched the numbers and found in Lowndes, Oktibbeha, Hinds, Franklin, and Jasper counties, over 50,000 people were purged from their lists of registered voters. Were they ghosts?!!!!? “A bill that was passed last year encouraged circuit clerks and election commissioners to engage in more purging than they have usually been doing. And so that process may have led to some mistakes.” To see if you’re still thought to be in the land of the living and voting for next Tuesday’s elections – Anyone who goes to the Secretary of State’s Y’all Vote website can check their own voter registration. https://sos.ms.gov/yall-vote Don’t get “tricked” when you go to the polls next Tuesday, November 7th 2023.
