More voter suppression in Ohio) Group Plans To Sue To Purge Voter Rolls

http://www.ideastream.org/news/feature/48656

Posted: Monday, August 27, 2012

A national group that’s pushed to purge voter rolls in other states wants to do the same in Ohio.And as Ohio Public Radio’s Jo Ingles reports, the group says it plans to file a court suit to make sure that happens before the November election.

The President of a group called Judicial Watch says Ohio has a big problem that could affect the integrity of the vote in November. Tom Fitton says the state’s voter rolls need to be purged before then.

Fitton : “Federal law requires that state take reasonable efforts to maintain accurate voter rolls. And our analysis of Ohio shows that evidently is not being done. Several counties have over 100% of their eligible population on the rolls. Many others have near 100% which shows us the basic steps to clean up the rolls are not being done. We’ve warned the Secretary of State about this and made him aware about it and haven’t gotten an adequate response so True the Vote and Judicial Watch are planning to file a lawsuit to help insure clean election rolls on election day.”
