SB2588 makes it easier to purge invalid names from the voter rolls. Requires county election officials to remove names of people who do not to vote at least once during a four-year period.
The Mississippi State Senate passed SB2588 on February 10, 2021 by a vote of 36 to 16. We have assigned the pluses to the ayes because strengthening election laws are crucial in the preservation of our election process and election integrity. Article IV, Section 2, of the U.S. Constitution provides that “citizens” of the United States “shall be entitled to all privileges and immunities,” such as the “right of citizens of the United States” to vote as prescribed in the 26th Amendment. It would be an infringement on our rights to allow any ineligible elector to vote.
