    I had to temporarily derail a car trip to make a point to my mother about voter purges.

    I was driving us somewhere after she had a medical procedure, and we got onto voter purging since I had just seen an article less than an hour before, and she agrees with voter purging. Because “sometimes people use dead voters to cheat”.

    So, knowing an area of 2-3 blocks where almost every person living there had been purged from local voter registry, I drove us there and told her most of the adults here had been purged.

    Then I asked her if she noticed anything about the people who lived here. She lives in a very white city. This neighborhood is almost entirely minorities.

    She seemed to understand that purging only minorities would certainly affect election stats, but didn’t seem to understand it wasn’t an accident. And the minorities were purged on purpose to cheat at a vote.

    I guess truth is denied those who refuse to seek it with both eyes.
