A Purge Threat From LaRose

More than 115,000 inactive voter registrations are at risk of being removed from Ohio’s rolls after the November election, the state’s election chief says. The final, revised figure released by the office of Secretary of State Frank LaRose represents the number of voter registrations that will be purged if they are not activated. Inactive voters in Ohio can take certain actions to stay on the rolls, including voting on Election Day or updating or confirming their address through the state’s voting website. LaRose made it clear none of the 115,816 registrations on the list will be canceled prior to the Nov. 3 election.
