Why we are suing Ohio and Kansas - We CAN Reverse Purges

The Supreme Court decision blessing the purge of half a million voters in Ohio is NOT the last word.
On Monday, the renowned law firm of Mirer Mazzocchi Julien of New York will serve a 90-day notice on Jon Husted, the Secretary of State of Ohio, of our intent to file suit in federal court unless we receive complete information on each of the hundreds of thousands of voters removed from the voter rolls.
We have already filed a demand for information on Kris Kobach, the "eminence grise' behind Ohio and other mass purges nationwide, to open his purge program files to us.
We are joined in this demand by the ACLU of Kansas.
WHAT WE CAN DO
As I explained in my prior report, the Supreme Court did not authorize Ohio to remove voters who skipped an election.
Rather, failing to vote was merely one of Ohio's excuses to send a postcard to these voters.
Not returning a postcard was taken, absurdly - insanely - as evidence "the voter had moved away."
The implications of the Supreme Court decision are unimaginably horrid, as at least two dozen states (not just Ohio) are using "evidence" that a voter has moved -- "proven" by the failure to respond to a piece of junk mail.
