TUPELO ⢠Legislation that would automatically purge Mississippi voter rolls based on certain criteria died in the state House of Representatives on Tuesday. Under Senate Bill 2588, any voter who fails to cast a ballot for two consecutive years, including two federal elections, would be mailed a confirmation postcard. Failure to respond to that postcard with confirmation of address would then lead to the purging of that voter after four years, though voting at least once during that four-year period would prevent purging. The legislation passed in the Senate on a party-line vote, 36-16, but the House Apportionment and Elections committee failed to take up the bill by a Tuesday deadline.
