Is it possible that voter rolls are being hacked?

I can't help but wonder how voters are being deleted from rolls, even in states like California. And I believe the gop is capable of hiring a mercenary hacker.

Is there a way to trace these deletions to at least determine if they didn't occur within the appropriate local or state government?

What's Karl Rove doing right now? If he's not in jail or dead, he's hacking something.

Just as much damage if they change the party affiliation from Democrat to something else. In a state with closed primaries, that shuts the person out from voting in the primary but not in the general election.

Innocent-looking options, doesn't it? But can file access be tracked to at least rule out that there was unauthorized access?

My fear is that the-powers-that-be won't take this seriously until millions are disenfranchised.
