Ohio's voter purge is one big mess. [View all]
Hey, ho, what a mess, Ohio.
So its all fine and dandy until MAGAt voters start getting purged? Ho ho.
Ohios experience shows how just one software glitch, like the one that canceled Gedraitis registration, could remove hundreds or thousands of eligible voters from the rolls.
In the runup to the pivotal 2020 election, controversies emerged over purges in other high-stakes states where some fear a few thousand ballots could flip the vote. Georgia removed 300,000 registrations last year. Wisconsin is locked in a court battle over whether it must strip 200,000 names.
Across the nation, states canceled some 17.3 million registrations between the 2016 presidential election and the 2018 midterms, according to the U.S. Election Assistance Commission.
