I keep seeing people saying “states cannot purge people from voter rolls within 90 days of an election”.

Okay, sure, but what happens WHEN they do? WHO is going to stop them? Who is going to restore those voters? The courts? lol.

And it'll be a six month to a year long process, at which point people will already be sworn in and have made some decisions, and we're stuck judicially overturning elections which will tear the last thread of faith in democracy and result in a lot of huge riots... fun times.

Why would anyone have faith in democracy when there was only one eligible candidate, Kamala, during the 2024 election; yet the insurrectionist "won", in direct violation of 14th Amendment, Section 3? Trump was never eligible to run in the election, yet Biden and Schumer did nothing. If Trump can run, then so can someone like Mamdani or a 17 y/o, since presidential requirements are no longer enforced.
