Supreme Court upholds Ohio method of removing names from voter rolls

Washington (CNN)The Supreme Court on Monday ruled that Ohio's method of removing names from its voter rolls does not violate federal law.

The decision was 5-4.

The law allows the state to send address confirmation notices to voters who have not engaged in voter activity for two years. If a voter returns the notice through prepaid mail, or responds through the Internet, the information is updated. If the notice is ignored and the voter fails to update a registration over the next four years, the registration is canceled.

The ruling concerning the battleground state comes as the country gears up for elections this fall. Six other states have similar laws, and the ruling could encourage others to pass similar laws.

6. Organizers need to focus on this

Make sure Dems/Progressives check their voter status; make sure all of their address information is up to date; make sure Dems/Progressives know where their polling places are; and make sure our voters know what the ID requirements are.

8. "Address confirmation notices". Riiiiight.

Just an added opportunity to lessen Democratic turnout due to a system breakdown.
