200,000 + names removed from Missouri voter rolls so far this year

More than 200-thousand names so far have been removed from voter rolls in Missouri so far this year. 

Secretary of State Denny Hoskins says every name removed is no longer eligible to vote in Missouri:

“And that includes over 18,000 deceased voters and 2,000 felons. So, this is something that I take very seriously, removing ineligible voters off the voter rolls. You know, some of these folks have moved, maybe across the state line, where they’ve moved from Missouri over to Kansas or Missouri over to Illinois.”

Hoskins says those removed included legal immigrants who are not yet U.S. citizens, along with some illegal immigrants who were registered to vote in Missouri. 

He did not say how many non U.S. citizens were removed from the state’s voter rolls.
