Ohio Strikes People From Voter Registration For Not Voting

[laughing dog]

Since Ohio does not allow registration on election day, it is a form of voter suppression.

Respond to the notice you get!

What if you don't get a notice? The fact is that if a person is mistakenly taken off the rolls, he or she ought to be able to register on election day. Otherwise, it is a form of voter suppression.

Or you get a postcard... and it says you haven't voted and you'll be taken off the rolls if you don't respond... and you think... for something this important, you'd think they would send something more than a postcard and think it is nothing more than a hoax or a scam. *tosses it in the trash*

Exactly. It does not take a rocket scientist to create a program that can be fed all of the following and make an educated guess as to which people are alive and residing but not voting, and which people are dead but voting and which people are dead, moved or incapacitated and not voting.

• Tax Return database of names and addresses
• Motor vehicle data base of names and addresses
• Utility databases of names and addresses
• Voter registration database of names and addresses
• Military list of names and addresses
• Public assistance list of names and addresses
• Property tax databases of names and addresses
• death record database
• birth record database
• marriage record database

Feed them in, correlate them, investigate only the anomalies.

You realize many of these involve things where name duplication is a possibility?

And what about the house behind us? The owners now live in California but they still own the house here. (I have no idea why, although starting this year I think they've taken to renting it out as we see various people staying there.)

And how do you plan to use voter registration to verify voter registration?

I bolded the relevant bit for you.

Instead of just purging them all, you run it through this.

There may be name duplicates. Of course.
BUT IF there's a name duplicate who ALSO is recorded as dead and ALSO owns no property and ALSO files no taxes and is ALSO not on assistance and ALSO is not on social security and ALSO is not listed as a dependent of someone else and ALSO doesn't drive and ALSO is not in prison


THEN you can look and see about a phone call or a follow-up - whether they are voting or not.

Didn't you read what I wrote?
You compare all of the databases against each other to discover trends.
Then you only have to investigate the anomalies.

Just how hard is it to vote? This case involves someone who has skipped the last three (at a minimum) general elections.

For some people that is hard. Get over yourself. Check your privilege.
For some people they vote when issues matter. That's their right. Get over yourself.

Seems to me eminently reasonable to purge lists of those who do not vote to ensure they do not vote from the grave.

Your logic is broken.

If someone is voting from the grave, then they won't be caught up in the purge, and can continue to vote indefinitely.

IF this is a problem, then the proposed solution is completely ineffective, and should be scrapped in favour of something that actually works.

In other words, you're too stupid to vote.

I don't recall; Exactly what is the wording in the US Constitution that establishes the legitimacy of an intelligence test for citizens before extending the franchise to them?

Or is being too stupid to vote just one of those things like being too black, or too poor, or too female, that a gentleman accepts as a natural part of a democracy?

So you are in favor of voter suppression.
