The subvert-the-elections movement apparently is trying to make a mess of voter registration rolls. Those who believe in democracy should put a stop to it.

This time, their target is a system in which many states came together to share voter registration information. The nonprofit bipartisan clearinghouse they created, called the Election Registration Information Center, notifies election officials if people from one state register to vote in another state. Many people who move never think to do that on their own, which is a problem because tens of millions of people move from one state to another every year.
