[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“Certain Ohio residents who have been purged from the state’s voter rolls must be allowed to cast provisional ballots in next week’s elections, a federal appeals court ruled Wednesday.

The Ohio ruling was the latest chapter in a long-running case over the state’s process for removing from its rolls people who haven’t voted in recent elections and don’t reply to state notices to confirm their eligibility.”

Ohio's secretary of state said most of the 180,000 voter registrations being purged are duplicates, belong to deceased voters or people who have moved.

But a Columbus Dispatch investigation found the vast majority are being purged for failure to vote.

I had mine purged for failure to vote and I think its BS. [b]But requiring ID doesnt seem like it's a lot to ask[/b], especially when you consider all of the other things in life that require ID. [/quote]
At first blush, sure. But in some states, they’ll accept some IDs but not others (I think it was Texas that allowed NRA cards but didn’t allow student IDs from colleges), and then to further pinpoint black people (because that’s what voter ID laws do, same as poll taxes and literacy tests did) they’ll even close certain offices in rural majority black counties so that people who don’t have cars or the proof that one needs to get an ID (like birth certificates and social security cards), it becomes almost impossible to get one.

It’s cheating. And it’s racist AF.[/quote]
