New MSU Research Sheds Light on Impact and Bias of Voter Purging in Michigan
Michigan State University

Voter purging can be an important step for creating election integrity, but others have raised concerns about how the process is conducted and who it targets.

Researchers from Michigan State University wanted to find out — especially due to the minimal data that exists about who is purged at local and state levels. What their research suggests is that voter purging in Michigan disproportionately targets underrepresented and lower-income communities.
