Difficult when you are purged from the voting rolls, and then you of all people, handjob, have urged people, on multiple occasions not to vote by mail.
You will lie till the day you die.

No I haven't, I encourage everyone to vote by mail, I haven't been to a polling place in decades.
Once I lived in Oregon where everything is voting by mail I never went back.
Why do you lie so much about me?

I've always gone to my local polling place in person,
and on actual election day,
except when I was in the service.
It's not time consuming or inconvenient in my city,
and it's an item of consistency and continuation going back to a world that I once understood.
Still, I see absolutely nothing wrong with voting my mail for those who find it more convenient.
I would be skeptical of on-line voting given my opinion of the internet.

It's not a crisis, it's good management of records. The study linked in the OP says this in the introduction:
One of the most frequent reasons for purging, however, was “inactivity,” or
failure to respond to a confirmation notice and not voting in at least two
consecutive federal general elections. This reason accounted for more than
a quarter of all removals while 26.8% and 25.6% were for address change or
death of the registrant, respectively.2
Flawed voter purge practices–such as removals for inactivity or based on
inaccurate identification of felony status or citizenship status
Why shouldn't 'inactivity' be a reason? If you have a business license and aren't doing any business, many states will revoke it for inactivity. Banks may close an account for inactivity. Why should voting be any different?
Then there's the "...inaccurate identification of felony status or citizenship status."
On page 4 it discusses the felony status using a single anecdotal case from Arkansas where the Secretary of State asked for the removal of 50,000 voters due to felony convictions. About 8% (4000) turned out to be erroneous. That doesn't seem to be a crisis, just a bureaucratic error that could be improved on.
Then on page 5 they again use a single anecdotal case from Texas where the state sent 95,000 naturalized citizens a notice to demonstrate their citizenship. Without a shred of evidence, they then claim this would "likely have a chilling effect..." Why?
Then on page 11, they sum up all of these supposed unjust reasons for removal or questioning a voter's registration, and use that sum to claim that a number of red states are erroneously and gratuitously purging voter rolls. It's a bullshit conclusion based on a flawed methodology built purely on vague generalities using anecdote.
The rest of it just argues that every blue / Democrat / Leftist ploy to register voters and let people vote can be done in a secure manner. This too is just chock-a-block with vague generalities.
Of course, you have to realize Demos is a Leftist organization so the implicit bias in their study is understandable. The paper is worthless.
