Not what I'm saying at all. Of course they did, because it benefits Republicans.

Since our resident JPP liberals feel that the OHIO law is abhorrent, I would like for at least one of them to show how they think the voter registration should be able to remove those who have died, moved, are no longer mentally capable of casting a ballot, etc.

Please explain a process that you would find acceptable; because I haven't seen an alternative offered, in this entire thread.

Who should be purged from the voter registration and how?

Are you saying that if they aren't purged yet still don't vote it benefit Democrats? I'm not real sure how purging someone that didn't take part in the process benefits anyone.

It's just adding another step. This is transparent to me. An effort to reduce the # of people who vote. Republicans win more when fewer people vote.

But these same "poor" people would have no problem in filling out and returning a questioner regarding their welfare or food stamps, drivers license..etc., Things that make you go Hummmmmmmmmmmm!

Nor does this new law explain the apathy all across the nation that details the fact that over half of the voting age population refuse to exercise their right to vote....yet bitch like hell concerning the results. Out of a population of over 300 million less than 137 million actually cast a single vote. The real culprit concerning voter suppression is APATHY.

They're the same ones that whined about voter ID yet when the almost 170,000 in my state identified as not having a valid ID under the new laws were offered a ride and free ID, 17 showed up on the day it was being done.

But-but-but; they're taking away their right to vote.

I'm still trying to figure out how someone purged is being denied the right to do something they chose not to do and the reason why they were purged.

I guess that since I haven't bought any fresh fruit from that roadside vender, his moving elsewhere has denied me right to buy fruit from him; EVER AGAIN.

Any actions taken which strike legal voters from the rolls are actions against democracy.

Republicans fool themselves into believing this helps eliminate voter fraud but the fraud is what they believe. This is really done to get Republicans, whom would have lost in a larger turn-out, elected.

This is the epitome of party over country.

Which legal votes have struck from the voting rolls?

**Micawber** · 06-12-2018, 01:16 PM

I have no opinion on this. Thought I’d up my post average to point it out

They are not legal voters if they no longer live in that precinct, county, or state.

Care to explain how purging someone from a list for an action they haven't chosen to take is denying them anything?
