<pre>Dear All,
The Supreme Court has granted certiorari in Husted v. APRI,
challenging Ohio's practice of purging voters from the rolls when they
don't vote in two successive election cycles, allegedly in violation
of HAVA, the Help America Vote Act. Background on the case can be
found at: <a class="m_8664650105915799997moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.scotusblog.com/case-files/cases/husted-v-philip-randolph-institute/" target="_blank">http://www.scotusblog.com/<wbr>case-files/cases/husted-v-<wbr>philip-randolph-institute/</a>
We have an opportunity to be an amicus in support of not purging
voters from the rolls, noting especially that it has a negative effect
on political parties that may have been prevented from fielding
candidates for an election cycle or two.
Our financial obligation would be limited to printing costs or less,
as we've already lined up an attorney willing to draft the brief
without cost to the LNC.
I intend to ask the Executive Committee to approve joining as an
amicus in this case, but wanted to answer any questions any LNC
members have about the case first. Mr. Hall is also on the list and
may be able to answer questions that I cannot.
Yours truly,
Nick
