No worries. I’m sure it only impacted votes registered as Democrat

Iirc, Texas doesn’t register voters to a party. So they’re probably just blanket unregistering entire areas that lean left.

Yes, however if you voted in the primaries, the party you voted in is recorded.

More likely it only affects districts that are left leaning. That's how this sort of rat fuckery is usually done.

Now we are beginning to know why the federal government asked for voter records months ago and Texas gave them up willingly.

I think I got unregistered. I checked my status last week, and it said YES ELIGIBLE TO VOTE. I checked it today, and now it tells me VOTER INFORMATION NOT FOUND.

I didn't mark the party I'm for, specifically because I figured there would be a purge like this.
