Voting rights groups want the state to pause the removals, noting that thousands of eligible voters are at risk of having their voter registrations canceled.
Ohio is set to cancel hundreds of thousands of voter registrations on Friday, even though the list of voters it is using was found to have mistakes.
“There are new questions, it seems like every week, about what’s going on with this list, and various inaccuracies with the list,” said Mike Brickner, the Ohio state director of All Voting is Local, one of the groups working on contacting voters. “If we’re going to purge people, we better make sure that it be accurate and fair. As of right now, with new questions arising just about every day, many people in the state just don’t have a lot of confidence that this is a correct list.
In Ohio, the list of voters set for purging is made up of people the state suspects have moved. Some on the list did indeed submit a change of address form to the United States Postal Service, but others did not. The list includes people who didn’t respond to an address confirmation mailing and people who haven’t voted, signed a petition or engaged in any other political activity for six consecutive years.
LaRose’s office defended its handling of the removals. In a court filing earlier this week, lawyers representing his office noted that errors had been fixed. The lawyers also said LaRose was taking additional steps to contact voters, including by making the cancellation list public and sending an additional “last chance” mailing to people on the list.

Stackable Bodega Glasses (Set of 12)You’ll find simple glasses just like these all over northern Spain, where locals use them for wine, water, and everything in between. We love them for so much more: as small dishes for salt, condiments, or mise-en-place; ice cream bowls; individual banana puddings. Stack them up for easy storage that also happens to look great on an open shelf. 'Multipurpose and made of tempered glass, they can be neatly stacked and suit a tight budget. Use the small for wine, a panna cotta, yogurt and berries, or serving condiments and pickles. The midsize is perfect for cocktails...as well as milk or iced tea. And the largest is ample for your pint of brew.' –Florence Fabricant, The New York Times.
