Ohio purges thousands from voter rolls

Ohio removed thousands of citizens from the state voter rolls this week due to inactivity, Secretary of State Frank LaRose announced.

Why it matters: Those impacted are urged to re-register if they want to cast a ballot this year.

State of play: Ohio has a "use it or lose it" system when it comes to staying active on its eligible voter list.

Those who do not vote, update their registration address or respond to board of elections notices over a six-year period are automatically removed.

It's unfortunate that so many people don't realize that this happens. Sooner or later they're going to want to vote and discover that they can't.

1. If They're Not Voting

what good would that do anyway? Not that I agree with a top-down action like this. Local voting boards should be doing this following some type of directive that's hopefully outside the political arena; for example, DMV notifying election boards upon change of address.

I guess the question is how long of a non-voting record does one need to be purged and what recourse does one have if they were purged but have been regular voters?

2. If the majority of voters in OH do this, we may be surprised by the role COVID played in political

demographics.
