U.S. Supreme Court defends Ohio voting policy
On June 11, 2018, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld an Ohio voter registration policy that permits the State to remove eligible but infrequent voters from registration rolls if they have not returned a postcard confirming they have not moved after failing to vote for two years and have not voted in any election for an additional four years. The Court determined in a 5-4 decision that this practice complies with the National Voter Registration Act, a federal law forbidding voter removal, and is a lawful way to keep voter registration rolls current.
