Secretary of State Frank LaRose said state law requires voter roll maintenance, but voting rights groups say they’re still worried eligible voters will be"purged" by mistake.
A reminder: Ohio’s removal process involves a voter not casting a ballot for two years, and then not responding to mailings from the board of elections, and not voting for four years after that. “That is the responsibility that’s laid out I the law," LaRose said."It’s very clear. It’s not discretionary. It's not up to me whether I choose to do this or not. It's required."
A federal judge ruled Tuesday that the Ohio Democratic Party failed to prove its claim that thousands of eligible voters were on the list because of mistakes involving vendors.
