Iowa voters wrongly listed as inactive under new state law
Polk County’s auditor failed to give Korolina Ogle credit for voting in November’s election, according to information Axios confirmed with the Iowa Secretary of State.
The mistake resulted in Ogle receiving a "no activity notice" last month, the first step toward cancelling her voter registration under a law signed by Gov. Kim Reynolds in March.
Why it matters: 294,147 other voters in Iowa — roughly 13% of the state's registered voters — received similar notices last month.
Critics contend that many inactivity notices are like Ogle’s and based on erroneous data or flawed methodology.
What's happening: The new law requires the secretary of state to move voters who didn’t cast ballots in the most recent general election to "inactive" status. Previously, it required not voting in two consecutive general elections.
