WASHINGTON (AP) The Supreme Court is allowing Ohio to clean up its voting rolls by targeting people who havent cast ballots in a while.
The justices rejected, by a 5-4 vote Monday, arguments that the practice violates a federal law intended to increase the ranks of registered voters. A handful of other states also use voters inactivity to trigger a process that could lead to their removal from the voting rolls.
Justice Samuel Alito said for the court that Ohio is complying with the 1993 National Voter Registration Act. He was joined by his four conservative colleagues.
The four liberal justices dissented.
Partisan fights over ballot access are being fought across the country. Democrats have accused Republicans of trying to suppress votes from minorities and poorer people who tend to vote for Democrats. Republicans have argued that they are trying to promote ballot integrity and prevent voter fraud.

What about voting absentee? /s
Quote Sotomayor
low voter turnout rates, language-access problems, mail delivery issues, inflexible work schedules, and transportation issues, among other obstacles, make it more difficult for many minority, low-income, disabled, homeless, and veteran voters to cast a ballot or return a notice, rendering them particularly vulnerable to unwarranted removal.
has disproportionately affected minority, low-income, disabled, and veteran voters.
So they can vote in a primary, municipal, general and be fine . But cannot find time , only plan to vote for President, then skip the most important election in 4 years, but want registration kept. And it would if they reply to mail from Election Superintendent. But minorities have worst mail service allegedly? But never heard this argument before.
Why does this hurt veteran voters , they are busy every Election Day?
What are disabled doing every Election Day?
Lies, Lies, Lies!
