Last week, voting rights activists said about 4,000 voters were wrongly placed on a list of 235,000 registrations provided by counties that were set to be removed or 鈥減urged鈥� from the rolls next month. Ohio鈥檚 top election official says that鈥檚 not true, and in fact more people are now active voters. 

Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose says the list of voters who could be removed from voter rolls now has nearly 10,000 active voters. He says that's a sign outreach efforts by nearly two dozen groups who are following up with those voters are working.

鈥淭hat鈥檚 because they have responded to the mailing, that鈥檚 because they have gone on the website, that鈥檚 because they have taken the action to become an active voter again," LaRose says.

But the master list LaRose provided to groups to reach out to those voters hasn鈥檛 been updated. So, Mike Brickner, the Ohio State Director with All Voting is Local, says the eligible voters on that list could get called and might get confused.

鈥淗ow many more are going to be impacted by that?鈥� Brickner asks.

The list of 235,000 registrations includes people who have died or moved out of state. However LaRose says he鈥檚 following the voting rolls maintenance method upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court last year.
