The push to purge the rolls of voters will continue. The fewer people that actually vote, the less money that has to be spent to campaign and the more likely incumbents will be re-elected.
There is an issue in retirement heavy states like Florida and Texas with people moving to the state, and not de-registering to vote in their old state. A few full-timers I know from Oregon before moving their domicile to Texas received an Oregon ballot in the mail in 2016.
Back when I was in the Navy for 20 years, many of my peers used mail services in Florida and Texas as their official residence. Because there were no longer family members left in their hometowns. I'm suspect a lot of the longer serving or career members of the military do that today.
One way that Escapee's has dealt with the issue on the Texas state level is to tie the full-time traveling RV'er to the way the military servicemen and women from Texas are treated.
The original bill a couple years back about in-state vehicle inspection requirements would have required more servicemen/women from Texas to return to the state within a 60 day period to have their vehicles inspected and registration renewed than RV'ers.
I don't know where it will end as long as each state and county keeps their own records on their own systems. A lot of people don't like a national identity card, but so many of our current hot-button issues like identity to vote, identity to work, etc - could be solved with a national identity card.
