Ohio Agrees To Use Error-Riddled Voter Purge List

http://thinkprogress.org/justice/2014/01/14/3161071/ohio-husted-voter-purge/

Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted (R), one of the nation’s most notorious vote suppressors, has agreed to join an error-riddled multi-state voter purge database. The move comes as part of a settlement with voter-suppression groups who sued the state to force it to remove names from its voter rolls.

The Interstate Voter Crosscheck Program aims to make sure that voters do not participate in elections in more than one state at a time. More than two dozen states submit their voter registration lists to the system and can check to make sure voters are not also registered in a different state. Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach (R), best known for his anti-immigrant efforts, oversees the program. So far, the system has mostly been embraced by Republican officeholders concerned about the largely-mythical problem of “voter fraud.”
