150,000+ inactive Ohio voters could be purged before election

The Ohio Secretary of State's office has released the names of voters who could be removed from Ohio's voter database on July 22. This can happen when voters haven't participated in elections in the last 4 years or if they moved and didn't update their voter registration address. Occasionally, it might even happen as a mistake, so it's important to check no matter what.

Are you on the purge list? Better yet, verify that you are on the active voter list.
