    Did you read the article linked in the OP?

    The court ruled 5-4 that Ohio did not violate federal laws by purging voters who failed to vote for six years and did not confirm their residency. Ohio has the strictest such law in the nation.

    The ruling protects similar laws in six states, including several electing governors or U.S. senators this fall. They are Pennsylvania, Georgia, Oregon, Oklahoma, West Virginia and Montana. Justice Samuel Alito noted in his majority opinion that about one in eight voter registrations in the USA are invalid or inaccurate. He said failing to vote cannot be the sole reason for purging voters, but Ohio "removes registrants only if they have failed to vote and have failed to respond to a notice."

    Under federal laws enacted in 1993 and 2002, states cannot remove voters from registration lists because of their failure to vote. But they can do so if voters don't respond to confirmation notices.

    "A state violates the failure-to-vote clause only if it removes registrants for no reason other than their failure to vote," Alito said. By contrast, he said, Ohio waits six years before removal, following federal law "to the letter."

    Lets simplify it for you. Why is there a need to purge voters at all.? That is easy. it gets rid of potential Dem voters. Who is hurt if they sit idle on the rolls? Nobody. Why do Repubs see it as a problem? it is because they are neat, and just like the roll cleaned up? Who would buy that? This is fucking political.

    Suck it[/QUOTE Typical Trumplestilkskin. What do we gain by cleaning up those dirty rolls? I guess you discovered that dead people don't come back and tell the election comm. to take Their names off. But then dead people don't vote either. This is manufactured for one reason, to stop likely dems from voting. Cheating people out of their right to vote.is honorable when it does that.

    How is it "cheating" anyone from voting?
    SEDITION: incitement of resistance to or insurrection against lawful authority.

    Nothing but common sense but lefties will be whining most terribly over this one.
    LOL

    Most states have purge criteria for voter registration rolls... What are you yammering about?

    So they "sit idle on the rolls"?

    Guess what? It's the law in Ohio and six other states. The Supreme Court has ruled.

    Don't like it? Too bad.

    Their loss to Trump even made them start to cry about the Electoral College, didn't it?

    They - and Hillary - refuse to take responsibility for their own failure and blame "cheating", Russians," "Bernie," "misogyny" etc.

    Hilarious.

    In 2012 Trump ranted and raved against the Electoral College.. He wanted to do away with it and just go with the popular vote.

    why not one?......to purge the voter list simply means to remove people who no longer allowed to vote.....for example dead people and those who have moved somewhere else.......give me one good reason why they should NOT be removed from the list........
