"The Libertarian National Committee suggests that Ohio’s rule also
disproportionately affects voters who do not support the two major
political parties. Those voters, it contends, “are particularly likely
to engage in principled non-voting,” but the Ohio rule punishes them
for not voting by dropping them from the rolls. When that happens, it
explains, such voters are not only unable to vote, but they are also
“ineligible to sign ballot access petitions under state law (i.e.,
unable to help their preferred candidates, parties, and initiatives
make it onto the ballot in future elections), unable to be identified
and contacted by candidate campaigns that rely on the state’s voter
registration records and invisible to pollsters and others who measure
public opinion by seeking the views of registered voters.”"
