Ohio's process for removing voters from rolls is illegal, court rules (Add dead voters back on list)
Columbus Dispatch ^ | Sept 24 2016 | Alan Johnson

The 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled against Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted on Friday in a case involving removal of names from voter registration rolls.

The case was based on a lawsuit by the American Civil Liberties Union of Ohio and other entities arguing that Husted was too aggressive in purging voter rolls. Husted's office has removed 465,000 deceased voters and 1.3 million duplicate registrations from Ohio's voter rolls in recent years. His office also has a program to cancel the registrations of those who do not update their registrations or vote over six years, including three federal general elections. Those voters also are sent a confirmation notice.

The 2-1 decision by the Cincinnati-based appeals court overturned a decision by a federal district court earlier this year. The case now will go back to the U.S. District Court for reconsideration.

"The secretary’s newly issued form does nothing to correct the fact that Ohio has, for years, been removing voters from the rolls because they failed to respond to forms that are blatantly non-compliant," the court said.

"This ruling overturns 20 years of Ohio law and practice, which has been carried out by the last four secretaries of state, both Democrat and Republican. It also reverses a federal court settlement from just two years ago that required exactly the opposite action," Husted said in a statement.

The ruling "undermines voter confidence and opens the door to fraud," he added.

He said the state will appeal the decision if the district court reconsiders.

Have all the dead and duplicates voting for Trump and then see how fast the ACLU acts to purge them.

When My first wife went home to be with The Lord in June of 2004 ... it was an election year.

I did NOTHING about notifying ANYONE and when I went to vote, I saw her name missing on top of mine (Debbie/Frank .. alphabetical listing)

I asked about it and was told the R and D offices list the names every day from the newspapers and take about five minutes to scratch out (figuratively) the names that are on the rolls but no longer with us.

The judge is forcing a Clinton win in Ohio. No ID. Anyone on earth is allowed to vote, dead or alive, probably as many times as he likes.

It seems to be the Administratiin’s position that once a voter always a voter even unto centuries later.

Isn’t Ohio where Obama got 108% of the vote in one county and Romney got 0%?

A statistical impossibility.
