    smells like Murica

    this has been a problem and not just because of Republicans and not just isolated to Ohio It is a nationwide both controlling parties’ problem I myself have been made ineligible to vote due to laws made by our Demopublican politicians

    how else would they control the narrative?

      I have never once heard of the democrats purging voter rolls of legitimate registered voters. If that has happened before, I would love to see some evidence of it bcz that’s not cool regardless of who is doing it.

        I’m guessing he’s a felon or something. Not that felons should be disenfranchised either, of course, but phrasing it as “made ineligible to vote” sounds like that kind of euphemism to me.

        They do it all the time.

        Voter list maintenance is a standard, legally required part of the election process, and many if not most of these registrations are for people who have moved away, died or long since stopped voting.

            I have no idea what the person I responded to knows or doesn’t know beyond what they post.

                  Congratulations. To be this willfully ignorant must take a lot of effort to maintain. At least you’re good at something.

              I never said anything about what OP knows or doesn’t.

              Just that you know regular maintenance of voter rolls isn’t the topic at hand

          Do you have a source for Democrats purging legitimate voters in any systematic or politically nefarious way?

              I’m not trying to be a jerk to you. It’s just a pet peeve of mine when people say or imply that Democrats and Republicans are the same. If it means anything I appreciate your response.

                That’s fair. Some people seem to think all voter “purges” are nefarious. Appreciate the clarification.

        some dem states participate in ERIC which systematically does purge ostensibly-illegitimate voting records. the most republican states which became members, probably because they love purge, have since withdrawn because they didnt like the other ERIC function of notifying legitimate voters of their rights, which increased turnout.

          There’s nothing inherently wrong with regular voter purges, removing deceased voters for example, and even the most well intentioned system will have the occasional error. But there are attorneys general, I’ve only seen reports with Republican ones, who use voter purges explicitly to influence the results.
