Assorted voting rights cases will be clogging the SCOTUS docket for the next several years, I would surmise.
Republicans never tire of disenfranchising American voters, and civil liberties groups are not shy about challenging the GOP.
Gorsuch etc: OH voting laws should be the template for all other states to follow.
I have been voting since 1966, every election, even those when I was stationed overseas. I don’t have a problem removing “voters” who have skipped 2 national elections in a row. Anything less than that I’d be thinking a purge, but if you were so lazy to skip that many votes you deserve to be required to reregister.
But that isn’t what actually happened in Ohio—so it’s a straw man argument.
Is Ohio one of the states with a no-notification purge? Because that’s the part that’s particularly aimed against the casual voter. Someone arrives at the polling place all ready to vote, and that’s when they find out they’re not registered.
Its good to know that you are not in a position to decide this.
Thank you, King George.
Voting is a right, not a privilege.
Austin Sarat has expressed the opinion that Gorsuch’s version of originalism is not a theory of Constitutional interpretation but is more of a belief that it is time to return rights to their original “owners.” When the Constitution was adopted there was no agreement on a national standard for voting rights so the individual states were given the power to regulate their own voting laws. If Sarat is correct then Gorsuch and his fellow travelers on the Court will continue their attack on the Voting Rights Act and will uphold state restrictions and purges of voting rights so long as they don’t blatantly violate any Constitutional Amendment.
What does that mean? So, I send in a blank ballot two times, but I vote in all local elections. Do I have to re-register to vote in a national election? What if I am so disgusted with the choices, I don’t send in a ballot?
Where is your brain, richard cranium? Do you think voting is a privilege and not a right?
Actually, I think it is both… as for being disgusted with choices just means you option to write in your preference.
