  2.  Allow removal of invalid registrations at any time.
  3. Congress should repeal the blackout periods on list maintenance.
  4. The State should permit jurisdictions to act on documentary evidence of ineligibility (e.g., citizenship mismatches from SAVE/DMV/SSA, death records, residency changes, declaration of mental incapacity, felony conviction, etc.) with no artificial timing restrictions, while preserving notice and due process requirements for removal of registrations
  5. Override conflicting federal or state provisions that impede rigorous, year-round maintenance to ensure rolls remain current and accurate.
