Ohio to purge 150,000 voters before November election

CINCINNATI (WXIX) – Over 150,000 voters could be purged from the rolls before November’s election as part of an initiative from the Ohio Secretary of State.
Around 18,000 voters in Hamilton County have been mailed notices.
Hamilton County Board of Elections Director Sherry Poland said inactive voters are purged annually. She said some voters should have been purged in the past, but haven’t.
“Voters who we believe might have moved out of Hamilton County or the State of Ohio will be removed from the voter roll,” Poland said.
Purged voters receive notices ahead of time. Most of the names are taken from the national change of address list. She said voters who haven’t interacted with the Bureau of Motor Vehicles or signed a petition in the last four years are assumed to have moved out of the area unless they confirmed with the board they’re still here.
Voters concerned they may have been purged can check their status with the board of elections. She said voters can call or go online to the Hamilton County Board of Elections website. The board submits its purged voter lists on July 22, but voters can still re-register until Oct. 7.

Trump, Musk endorse Vivek Ramaswamy for Ohio governor

President Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk on Monday separately endorsed entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy in Ohio’s gubernatorial race.
Ramaswamy, who ran against Trump in the 2024 GOP presidential primary, announced his candidacy earlier on Monday to replace term-limited Republican Gov. Mike DeWine in the 2026 election.
Trump announced his endorsement in a post to his social media platform Truth Social.

“VIVEK RAMASWAMY is running for Governor of the Great State of Ohio. I know him well, competed against him, and he is something SPECIAL,” Trump wrote.
“He’s Young, Strong, and Smart! Vivek is also a very good person, who truly loves our Country,” he continued. “He will be a GREAT Governor of Ohio, will never let you down, and has my COMPLETE AND TOTAL ENDORSEMENT!”
Musk, a senior advisor to Trump, also offered Ramaswamy his endorsement a short time later.

“Good luck, you have my full endorsement!” Musk responded to Ramaswamy in a post on X.
Ramaswamy formally declared his candidacy during a rally on Monday in his hometown of Cincinnati.
“I will lead Ohio to become the state of excellence in America,” Ramaswamy told the crowd.

“Think that sounds unrealistic? It’s not,” he said. “In fact, it wasn’t long ago that Ohio was that state. Today, young people on the internet make fun of something by saying ‘that’s so Ohio.’ But less than a century ago, people weren’t making fun of Ohio, they were aspiring to be Ohio.”
Ramaswamy, 39, dropped out of the race for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination to endorse Trump and become a surrogate for the current president.
