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.

      Hardly the first time Florida has purged its rolls of liberal voters.

      But after three Democratic presidents worth of shenanigans, nobody at the DOJ Civil Rights Division seems to have given any shits.

      You’d think Biden might care, even if Clinton and Obama slept through this shit.

        Angry people vote. They’d rather sell the idea that Floridians are being disenfranchised by the GOP than stop them. Going to court will cost money, but fundraising from angry voters raises money.

          Fundraising when you don’t have the votes mostly just sends money to scam-artist political consultants.
