UPDATE: Voter roll purging surprises some voters

The voter roll purging efforts around the state have resulted in some people finding themselves off their local voting rolls.  Many of the complaints filed to the Call Center are from voters who did not respond to jury duty and were purged.  Here is a call log from Attala County:

 Name was not on the voter roll because she didn't respond to a jury summons. She said that she never received it and this happened to about 7-8 other people. They let them vote by affidavit but was told that it probably wouldn't be counted.

UPDATE: Here is a call log from Hinds County Precinct #6 logged at 2:54 p.m.

Several people have been purged from the voter roll. THese are people who have been living there, voting and registered for years. As of 3 P.M. 27 people have been purged that should have been listed. Worker thinks that this scenario is weird and there may be something wrong. No explanation why so many regular voters should have been purged from the list.
