Ohio Secretary Of State Purges 26,000 From Voter Rolls During Early Voting On Abortion Rights Ballot Measure

Democracy Docket reports:

Just six days after Ohio voters began receiving ballots for the upcoming November election, Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose (R) canceled 26,666 voter registrations in the state.

On Sept. 22, ballots were sent to overseas citizens and military members to begin voting in the Nov. 7 general election and on Sept. 28, LaRose ordered the cancellations, despite instructing county boards to pause registration cancellations ahead of the previous election in August.

The move has sparked pushback and concerns from Democrats who question the timing of the decision. LaRose, who was a vocal leader of a failed August ballot measure that would have required future conditional amendments to receive 60% support, ordered county boards to not remove voters from the rolls in June ahead of the election.
