@ProPublica The utter irony of this article is that she still intends to vote for Trump, who is, in a very real way, at least partially responsible for her getting removed from the rolls in the first place.

Completely agree. Quoting myself from a recent essay on my blog ("The Pace of Political Evil"):

"Trump has shown that it's a productive strategy to create policies actively hurtful to one's own base, who will notice the pain but not bother to find out where it comes from, preferring to just be blindly angry, without direction, and to just wait to be told by tribal leaders who they should be angry at."

The Pace of Political Evil

How Trump's political moves have supercharged the pace of evil.

I wonder how she would feel if the same people who removed her from the voter rolls, use the same logic to decide that she should be deported, if Trump were to regain the presidency.
