Ohio to withhold absentee ballots from 1 in 7 voters
In Ohio a decision by Secretary of State John Husted to not mail absentee ballot request forms to over 1 million registered voters draws criticism.

Voter purges for nonresponse or address changes occur every four years, prompting debate over potential exclusion of voters, especially low income, from early voting.
