The number of voters purged between 2014 and 2016, and 2016 and 2018 being about the same is important. Because this is the new "normal amount of election racism." 🤷🏿♂️

I say "about the same" but you already know that the number of deregistrations is moving up...
The fact that voter purges occur disproportionately in places that Black people vote, and ramped up after laws designed to protect Black voters were intentionally weakened, is important too.
