A Democratic critic of the Republican Secretary of State says he鈥檚 ignoring thousands of Ohio voters by not including them in the batch of 7 million absentee ballot applications he sent out last week.
Rep. Kathleen Clyde of Kent said Secretary of State Jon Husted is not sending applications to a group of registered voters that he鈥檚 singled out as 鈥渋nactive鈥�. 鈥淲e鈥檙e certainly talking tens if not hundreds of thousands of Ohioans who are eligible to vote, they are registered to vote, but they are not getting this mailing," Clyde said.
Clyde said these registered voters could be at risk of being removed from the voting rolls in the future because they won鈥檛 get applications. But Husted鈥檚 office said those who aren鈥檛 getting the applications he鈥檚 sending need to update their addresses with their local boards of elections, because those applications are pre-printed with what needs to be the voter鈥檚 current address.
