SCOTUS has agreed to hear Husted v. A. Philip Randolph Institute, the Ohio voter list purging case.. [View all]

From SCOTUSBlog:

"Issue: Whether 52 U.S.C. § 20507 permits Ohio's list-maintenance process, which uses a registered voter's voter inactivity as a reason to send a confirmation notice to that voter under the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 and the Help America Vote Act of 2002."

The lower court (6th Circuit) had overturned a district court judge's decision that the concerns of the plaintiff-voters were moot. Ohio then appealed that decision to the Supreme Court.
