Damn Democracy Docket, and any other website, demanding my email to view their content. However, contrary to the headline a statute governs list maintenance and the time period for removals. So, wtf is the basis for DOJ's position?

The 90-Day Quiet Period Before Federal Elections

The NVRA limits when States can conduct a general list maintenance program. Under Section 8(c)(2), States must complete any program that systematically removes the names of ineligible voters from the official list of eligible voters no later than 90 days before a primary election or general election for federal office. In other words, once an election for federal office is less than 90 days away, processing and removals based on systematic list maintenance must cease. And, if a State's federal primary election occurs less than 90 days before a federal general election, the State must complete any systematic-removal program based on change of address for the federal election cycle no later than 90 days prior to the federal primary election: no further systemic activity may take place between the primary and general elections.

This 90-day deadline applies to State list maintenance verification activities such as general mailings and door-to-door canvasses. This deadline also applies to list maintenance programs based on third-party challenges derived from any large, computerized data-matching process. However, the 90-day deadline does not preclude removal of a registrant's name at the request of that registrant, removal due to the death of the registrant, or removal due to a criminal conviction or mental incapacity of the registrant as provided by State law, nor does the deadline preclude the correction of a registrant's information. 52 U.S.C. 20507(c)(2)(B).

I've been registered and have voted in every federal and pert near every local election since 1972. That includes a small, a medium and the largest county (3 different precincts) in Texas. I've never waited more than about 20 minutes to vote nor have I ever been harassed, hassled or otherwise felt anyone was discouraging me from voting. Nor have I ever witnessed such against another voter.

Their motive is not a basis. What is the legal rationale according to the article I can't read?

In your opinion, am I correct in that reading?

I don't know without knowing the basis for the DOJ's opinion.

Yeah well, patting yourself on the back about your voting history hardly addresses a statement about "harassment, hassled or discouraged" from voting. In your opinion, am I correct in that reading?
