Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted (R) says he believes it’s easy to vote in his statepic.twitter.com/8V9LXH6AWk
Husted: “I disagree with the appeals court decision. That’s why we’re here today. We make every effort to ensure that individuals who are registered participate in the process.”

“7500 people who had been purged from the rolls showed up to vote on Election Day and because of this case, their votes were counted.” - ACLU’s @dale_e_hopic.twitter.com/5AIB7ZzQiu

Few other notes: Justice Breyer admitted that he occasionally throws all of his mail in the trash
Breyer: "Every year, a certain number of people die and a certain number move to California." Overheard in the press section: "Which is worse?"
Alito asked what Ohio should do if someone hasn't voted for 20 years.
Paul Smith, @CampaignLegal attorney, said that's not an indicator that they have moved, and also not that uncommon.
Paul Smith said that 3% of Americans move to a different county or state each year. A small number of those people live in Ohio. Meanwhile, Ohio purges hundreds of thousands of people from the voter rolls.
My report: All of the U.S. Supreme Court justices — or at least the seven that spoke — seemed to agree that voting cannot be a “use it or lose it” right. They disagreed on what that means in practice. https://thinkprogress.org/supreme-court-ohio-purge-args-cf2ed561858b/ …pic.twitter.com/5E0E5ZbTm9
