The Missing Voters

Ohio's disappearing voters:

The state of Ohio has come under fire for removing the names of 155,000 people "who moved to a new address, failed to update their registration and did not engage in voter activity − such as casting a ballot − over the past four years," according to the Columbus Dispatch. Secretary of State Frank LaRose also announced that registrations that had previously been flagged but not removed were included. "Every Ohioan, regardless of their political views, should care about accurate voter rolls," LaRose said. "Diligent list maintenance helps prevent voter fraud and ensures the voice of the voters is heard on Election Day." The state also removed the names of nearly 500 non-citizens who registered to vote but were ineligible. “I swore an oath to uphold the constitution of our state, and that document clearly states that only United States citizens can participate in Ohio elections,” LaRose said in a press release announcing the news. “That means I’m duty-bound to make sure people who haven’t yet earned citizenship in this country aren’t voting. If or when they do become citizens, I’ll be the first one to congratulate them and welcome them to the franchise, but until then the law requires us to remove ineligible registrations to prevent illegal voting.”

Democrats will have to find dead voters elsewhere...
