They argued the same thing in the NY 2016 primary case. You know... the one where 120,000 people in King's County just randomly got bumped off voter rolls a few weeks before the primaries with no recourse for registration.

These roll Purges occurred all over the country. I got purged during the 2016 primary in California but there was still plenty of time to reenroll despite the lack of warning.

I volunteered to work at a poll and countless numbers of voters were forced to vote with provisional ballots. Which meant they would be thrown away because they weren't registered to vote (but they had been at that location for years and were registered to vote)

Then the BoE folks all got huffy and "bristled" at the accusation there might have been foul play.

So anyway, that's how the democrats lost me. I may vote for a dem candidate if there weren't a complete verminous sleazeball, but i'd vote for them on the WFP line or something.
