polling place during in-person voting. Our research staff communicated with your office in recent weeks
to clearly understand the purpose of placeholder birthdates (e.g. 1/1/1800, 1/1/1900) found in thousands
of records across the state. Your office advised that some counties have outperformed others in updating
voter files established prior to 1968-1974. Attached to this letter, True the Vote pinpoints the specific
records in need of completion (15,599 total). In addition, TTV elevates 158 records across Ohio that
appear to be older than 109 years of age, yet do not follow placeholder birthdate formatting.
True the Vote understands that it has no
statutory authority to lay citizen challenges
on the highlighted registrations. Based on
that fact, TTV submitted its findings to the
county boards of elections with the request
they review the records and report followup maintenance actions, if applicable.
Further, TTV requested additional
maintenance details pursuant to Section 8 of
the National Voter Registration Act
(NVRA) 42 U.S.C. 1973gg-6(i):
