SCOTUS to hear Ohio voter purge case
2017-06-01
[AMERICANTHINKER] Civil liberties advocates who challenged Ohio's policy said it illegally erased voters from registration rolls and unlawfully disenfranchised minorities and poor people who tend to back Democratic candidates. The justices will review a U.S. appeals court ruling that Ohio's policy ran afoul of a 1993 law called the National Voter Registration Act, which Congress passed to make it easier for Americans to register to vote.

A Rooters analysis last year found that in Ohio's three largest counties, which include Cleveland, kept in touch with the world by Obamaphone,
...was ruled by a Democrat machine from 1942 through 1971. After the river caught fire during the administration of Carl Stokes they tried a Republican, then went back to being Democrats when the party hacked up Dennis Kucinich ...
, Cincinnati and Columbus, voters were struck from the rolls in Democratic-leaning neighborhoods at roughly twice the rate as in Republican neighborhoods under the policy.
Could it be that in Democratic neighbourhoods there are more imaginary voters, multiply-registered voters, and no longer resident because moved or dead voters?
Ohio officials argued that canceling registrations for voters deemed inactive for six years helped keep voting rolls current and accurate, clearing out those who have moved away or died. In September 2016, ahead of the U.S. presidential election, the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati ruled that the policy was unlawful.

Democrats have accused Republicans of taking steps at the state level, including laws imposing new requirements on voters such as presenting certain types of government-issued identification, intended to suppress the vote of minorities, the poor and others who generally favor Democratic candidates.

#4  With you Proc. Purge the rolls and require any voter registrations to come in in person with photo ID and proof of citizenship. The only exception are those who are physically unable to come in - and for them a agent goes out to their home - ID and proof still required.
If they are too lazy or stupid to come in then they probably should not be allowed to vote anyway - since they obviously are too lazy/stupid to research the issues.
Oh and you forfit your right to vote if you are on unearned government assistance (that is welfare, etc..). No - you cannot simply vote yourself more money.

#2  This really is the way forward in the battle against vote fraud. Purge the rolls. It's no burden at all to re-register every 4 years.

#1  Just purge all voter rolls every four year. Therefor, no race or class is involved. Problem solved.
