This is when the state should just ignore the ruling. What are they going to do, invalidate the entire election?

Coincidence that Hillary stopped putting resources in Ohio and then this comes out? Almost as if the campaign already knew this was going to happen.

I’m encouraging everybody that has a loved one that has passed on and theyre still on the voters register list I encouraged y’all to go cast a vote in their behalf! I think you call it a proxy vote! Do it for the sake of the survival of our country! I will risk paying a fine or even imprisonment for the sake of our country and my grandchildren, children and my future grandchildren’s future!! Why should the RATS have all the fun ...RIGHT?!! THIS IS A FREAKIN WAR AGAINST the PC CROWD AND THE BLACK ROBE @$$es!!!

They should delete the records so they can’t restore the names.

This is overreach by fedgov.

States should ignore it. They get to decide their voter laws and this is not unreasonable by any means. 6 years of no voting action is not unreasonable.

There is no constitutional requirements to keep people on voter roles forever. Nowhere specified. Because sftes determine their voting rules and laws.

After 6 years of total inactivity it's reasonable for a state to suspect that the person has moved or died.Thus such a purge is 100% reasonable.

In the meantime, Traitorcongress does ............................................................................................................................ nothing.
