League Of Women Voters Of Ohio V. Larose. Explore Case.League of Women Voters of Ohio v. LaRose
Voting-rights and civil-rights organizations filed a federal lawsuit challenging a new Ohio law that threatens to wrongly strip eligible citizens鈥攑articularly naturalized citizens鈥攐f their right to vote. The case arises from Ohio Senate Bill 293 (SB 293), a law that mandates aggressive, automated purges of Ohio鈥檚 voter rolls based on flawed citizenship data. Under SB 293, state officials are required to conduct frequent database checks and cancel voter registrations for people flagged as 鈥渘oncitizens鈥濃�攐ften without advance notice or a meaningful opportunity to correct mistakes. Plaintiffs brought this case to stop a system that places thousands of eligible voters at risk of disenfranchisement and undermines fundamental protections guaranteed by federal law and the U.S. Constitution. -
