Voter Rolls Like They Oughta Be

The issue of government inefficiency is particularly concerning when it comes to voter registration lists, which are meant to ensure only eligible voters participate in elections.

• Voter registration rolls often include ineligible voters and are updated infrequently, lacking transparency for the public.

• If bank records operated similarly to these rolls, it would lead to major public outcries.

• Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose is making strides by providing daily snapshots of the voter rolls, promoting election transparency.

• Despite this progress, the goal is to have always-updated voter rolls in an accessible format, as attempted by VoteRef.com in 2021.

• Accurate voter rolls are crucial for clean elections; any inaccuracies can lead to vote fraud.

• Some states limit access to voter records, often run by Democrats, and impose fees for access while being slow to update their information.

• The Trump administration is aware of the election integrity issue, and there’s a need for reforms to restore public trust in elections.

LaRose’s initiatives in Ohio may inspire other states to enhance transparency in voter registration, crucial for maintaining the integrity of elections.
