GOP official quietly purged thousands of Ohio voters after ballots had been cast: Report

[RandySF]

Ohio secretary of state Frank LaRose ordered with almost no advance notice thousands of inactive voters purged from the state's voter rolls last month after voting had already begun.

The removals began quietly on Sept. 28, a week after military and overseas voting had started for the Nov. 7 election, in which voters will decide statewide issues on abortion rights and recreational marijuana, reported Cleveland.com.

“This is a stunning order buried in a confusing directive on your website,” said state Rep. Bride Rose Sweeney (D-Westlake), who asked the secretary of state to clarify his decision to order the purge.

LaRose claims he's required by federal and state election law to set rules and timelines for keeping accurate voter registration lists, but a Democratic state lawmaker asked why he didn't wait until after the general election, as he had for August's special election on a proposed constitutional amendment.

2. If some people who are not allowed to vote because of this speak up, it might stop.

Hopefully, there is some mechanism to vote provisionally in this election.

4. Maybe this is one way the disgraced loser ex-president

(AKA mr. trump) is planning to 'win' the presidency.

This particular story from Ohio shows how easy it might be for trump's psycho-fanatic secretaries of state located in many states throughout the US (did you know that US also stands for "United States"?) to accomplish.

5. Wish as a Country we could have some national voter laws

that would rein in some of the stupid crap we see happening in red States. Give the power back to the people.

9. To be purged in Georgia, you have to go 7 years without voting and not respond to 2 mail notices.

That is not harsh.

When I lived in Georgia, I was purged 3 times, each time I moved to another district where I reregistered.

7. These are sickening people. Every accusation is a confession. Every single one.

They are killing my country.
