NEW: Watchdog Reveals Frank LaRose's "Worst Removal Practices" Likely Purged Eligible Voters

October 3, 2024

Columbus, OH- This week, a new report revealed that in Ohio's far too frequent voter purges, Secretary of State Frank LaRose has failed to safeguard against eligible voters getting removed from the rolls. The report singled out Ohio for having the "worst removal practices" when it came to purging eligible voters.

The report further explained that "at nearly every turn, the state makes it hard for voters to stay on the registration rolls, and the totality of Ohio's removal practices […] make it likely that eligible voters will be improperly purged."

LaRose claims that in Ohio's elections, "it's easy to vote and hard to cheat" but continues with his aggressive voter purges that clearly disenfranchises eligible voters, and disproportionately minority voters. He wants to have it both ways, at the expense of Ohio voters.

"After three statewide losses in a row and a fourth on the way, it's frankly unsurprising that LaRose is resorting to indiscriminately kicking voters off the rolls," said Ohio Democratic Party spokeswoman Katie Seewer. "This report confirms what voters have seen unfold for years: Ohio Republicans know they can't win on their own.
