The article never explained how it disproportionately impacted racial minorities and poor people
It doesn't. It's just standard Liberal propaganda and disinformation.

These are the ways that Republicans stay in power because it's the way they win.
That is not how they win, and you can't prove otherwise.

It's 6 years, not 2 years, and they're sent a notice after 2 years of not voting.
It people can't even grasp the basics of such a simple issue, it's not likely they'll understand deeper more complex issues.

They can vote by absentee ballot in their State of residency.
Your statement is also factually incorrect, since students attending college in other States can register to vote in that State, as soon as they meet the basic residency requirements.

Most people vote only in presidential elections, every four years. That means that most people will automatically be dropped. A fair route might have been to drop them after nine years.
They are dropped after 6 years of refusing to vote and also refusing to notify their County Board of Elections that they are still active, by returning the letter that is mailed to them after two years, or by counting the County Board of Elections on their own accord at some point.
It's shocking really, that so few are totally incapable of grasping the rudiments of this simple law.
The op indicated they are notified after 2 years and removed if no response within 2 years. I was responding to a claim of dead people voting, a favorite claim of the red states. If you don’t vote for 2 or 4 years are you dead? What is the issue with dormant records, not enough storage space on the servers?
Yet another ploy by the GOP. Yes upheld 5-4, not a glowing affirmation but we can thank Gorsuch.
Apparently it is six years total (2 years + 4 years). I stand corrected.

what makes you THINK that most people only vote every four years... or is that simply the liberal elitist view because only the potus is important
I vote in EVERY election... because the "small votes" are what really count and effect the individual
Actually, in Ohio it is how it works. But it takes four years of not voting. This would include not voting in
City and county elections
Plus any runoff election
Federal and state primary election (mid-term)
Plus any runoff election
Federal and state general election (mid term)
City and county electionsPlus any runoff election
Presidential primary (with federal and state primaries) election
Plus any runoff election
Presidential, federal and state general election
So over a four year period, a person would have to skip an estimated 9 elections, assuming no referendums and no replacement elections outside of the above schedule, and at least one runnoff for each non-general election.
Just skipping one vote because you do not care for anyone on the ballot one time will not get you thrown off the registration rolls. You have to establish a pattern and practice of not voting.
Many people only vote in Presidential elections and skip the rest.
Because sitting on the voter rolls costs so much money.
Come on. Either make it a federal requirement to vote (allow people to vote by mail and make voting day a national holiday) or quit trying to disenfranchise voters.
That's so shady.

This decision probably prevents a lot of fake votes to be cast.
Explain that one.
