California asks Supreme Court to tell Ohio: ‘Do as I say, not as I do’

The Hill reports:

This Wednesday, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear an important election law case. In Husted v. A. Philip Randolph Institute, the court will balance the competing interests of easy access to voting verses the need for election integrity.

To maintain accurate voter rolls, Ohio sends a notice to voters who have not voted in the past two years. If the voter does not respond and does not vote in the next two federal elections, Ohio removes the voter from its voter rolls. The respondents allege that this violates federal law since Ohio is removing voters because they have failed to vote.

California joined with New York, 10 other states, and District of Columbia to encourage the Supreme Court to strike down Ohio’s practice of removing voters who have stopped voting and have failed to respond to the state’s notice. Their brief informs the court of many things that Ohio could do instead to clean its registration rolls.


The fact that California has the audacity to tell Ohio how to clean voter rolls is laughable. Judicial Watch just sued California for having more registered voters than eligible voters. California has over 101 percent voter registration. The lawsuit alleges that California is not following federal law by properly removing ineligible voters from the voter rolls.
