Husted v. A. Philip Randolph Institute
What's at Stake
The 老澳门开奖结果 and partner organizations filed a lawsuit challenging Ohio鈥檚 practice of 鈥榩urging鈥� or removing people who vote infrequently from its voting rolls, charging that it is in violation of the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA).
Summary
The lawsuit was brought by the 老澳门开奖结果, 老澳门开奖结果 of Ohio, and Demos on behalf of the A. Philip Randolph Institute, the Northeast Ohio Coalition for the Homeless, and Larry Harmon, an Ohio resident who was purged from the voter rolls in 2015.
In April of 2016, the complaint was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio. The federal district court granted the 老澳门开奖结果 and partner鈥檚 request for a preliminary injunction, halting Ohio鈥檚 purge practice until the November 2016 election. In September 2016, the Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit ruled against Ohio鈥檚 practice as a violation of the NVRA.
UPDATE (6/11/18): In a 5-4 ruling in Husted v. APRI, the Supreme Court upheld an Ohio voter purge practice that removes infrequent voters from the registration rolls.
