Sens. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio and Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., have introduced a bill aimed at stopping any state from being able to purge voters it deems inactive, The Hill is reporting.
The proposed legislation comes after the Supreme Court upheld the state of Ohio's practice of cleaning up its voting rolls by focusing on people who haven't cast ballots in a while.
In Ohio, people who fail to vote in a two-year period are targeted for eventual removal from registration rolls. The state asks those voters to confirm their eligibility. If they fail to respond, their names eventually come of the voter rolls.
The new bill amends the National Voter Registration Act and stipulates a state is not able to use someone's failure to vote or respond to a state notice as a reason to remove them from the rolls.

It's not disputed, it's settled law. SCOTUS has ruled. If Roe v Wade is settled law, so is this and so is Citizen's United.
gotta keep the dead people voting
Settled according to law. Because the Democrats don't like it they are out to change the law, as they do, to suit their agenda!
Dumbocrats want the dead people to remain on the voter roles
Funny how the Democrats were concerned about Russia being involved in our election but nothing else. They don't care if dead people vote or if illegals vote. Unless you are cheating why wouldn't you want to make sure the voters are who they say they are.
