    some dem states participate in ERIC which systematically does purge ostensibly-illegitimate voting records. the most republican states which became members, probably because they love purge, have since withdrawn because they didnt like the other ERIC function of notifying legitimate voters of their rights, which increased turnout.

      There’s nothing inherently wrong with regular voter purges, removing deceased voters for example, and even the most well intentioned system will have the occasional error. But there are attorneys general, I’ve only seen reports with Republican ones, who use voter purges explicitly to influence the results.
