Trump Administration Stirs Alarm Over Voter Purges
Larry Harmon, 60, hadn't voted in a while when he drove to the high school in November 2015 to weigh in on a local referendum in Kent, Ohio. But he wasn't allowed to cast his ballot.
"I served in the military and they tell us, 'Oh, you're fighting for freedom.'" he said. "Then you come back and you're taken off the voter rolls because you didn't vote for two elections? That doesn't make sense. I thought that was our right."
Thanks to six years of inactivity and a single piece of unanswered mail asking him to confirm his voter registration Harmon, now a plaintiff in a major voter purge lawsuit before the Supreme Court, was removed from Ohio's voter rolls.
"I've been paying my taxes, paying my property taxes, registering my car," he said. "All the data was there for (election officials) to know that I was there."
