About the Case: Husted v. A. Philip Randolph Institute (APRI)

Ohio’s Supplemental Process targets voters who fail to vote in a two-year period for eventual removal from the voter roll based on the erroneous presumption that such voters have moved. As a direct result of this process, voters who remain fully eligible to vote are stripped from the registration rolls and denied their right to vote.
