A state purge removed 182,858 names from Ohio's voter registration rolls, a number that will grow because data from five counties including metropolitan Cuyahoga, Summit and Lucas were not included.
Secretary of State Frank LaRose acknowledged it's time to change the process that has brought a host of criticism not to mention lawsuits from critics.
"We've brought unprecedented transparency to this process; and our partnership with community groups, churches, labor unions, and other interested parties has confirmed what we've always believed: a process that for decades has relied on eighty-eight county boards of elections, sitting down at eighty-eight different keyboards, querying eighty-eight different databases is imperfect." LaRose said in a news release issued at 5 p.m. Friday.
"It's time to fix that imperfect system. That's why we've already endorsed new legislation that will modernize our registration system and bring the improvements necessary to develop the accurate and secure voter rolls Ohioans deserve."
