This is a great idea. If someone does not vote over a two-year period in Ohio, they are sent a confirmation notice to make sure they are still around and alive and kicking. If they do not respond, and they do not vote after another two years, they are removed from the voter roles.
The Supreme Court affirmed this practice today in Washington.
In a 5-4 decision, the court’s majority said the practice, known as the “supplemental process,” does not violate the National Voter Registration Act, which bars states from removing the names of people from the voter rolls for failing to vote.The court's five conservative justices voted in the majority, with the court's four liberals dissenting.
Under the supplemental process, voters who have not voted in two years are flagged and sent a confirmation notice. Voters who then fail to respond to the notice and fail to vote within the next two years are removed from the rolls.
Who wants to be first to claim that voters who do not vote are being disenfranchised from voting. Anyone?
Also, six other states have similar laws, including Georgia, Montana, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania and West Virginia. Surely this list will grow after this decision.
Supreme Court Upholds Ohio Voter Roll Purge Law, 5-4
Conservative Justice’s voted, 5 to uphold Ohio’s law as Constitutional. Here are the common sense basics of Ohio’s law.
Quote:
Under Ohio's policy, if registered voters miss voting for two years, they are sent registration confirmation notices. If they do not respond and do not vote over the following four years, they are removed from the rolls.
One more piece of former President Obama’s legacy consigned to the trash bins.
Quote:
Republican President Donald Trump's administration backed Ohio in the case, reversing a stance taken by Democratic former President Barack Obama's administration against the policy.

Rest assured they will be along, with the same convoluted nonsense regarding ID being needed to vote is disenfranchising.
"Under Ohio's policy, if registered voters miss voting for two years, they are sent registration confirmation notices. If they do not respond and do not vote over the following four years, they are removed from the rolls.
The challengers said Ohio's policy illegally erased thousands of voters from registration rolls in 2015 alone and disproportionately impacted racial minorities and poor people who tend to back Democratic candidates."
The article never explained how it disproportionately impacted racial minorities and poor people
I understand this... I would lengthen it out a bit... maybe have it cover two presidential cycles.
Life happens sometimes, and two years is too short of a period of time.
