Other editors Cartoonist view A victory for cleaner voting rolls A U.S. Supreme Court decision Monday in a case out of Ohio might be good news for Mississippi in trying to reduce the bloat in its voter rolls. By a 5-4 vote, the court upheld Ohio’s law that allows voters’ names to be purged if they have not cast a ballot for six years and have not responded to a notice asking them to confirm their residency. Civil rights leaders say this is an effort to disenfranchise the minorities and poor. Rather, it is an attempt to have more accurate voter records. Mississippi is notorious for having bloated voter rolls, with many counties having more registered voters than adult residents. Bloated rolls create judicial ineffi- ciencies, as counties have to send out huge numbers of jury summonses to pool a sufficient number of potential jurors. Worse, bloated rolls are an invita- tion to voter fraud. The easiest way to impersonate a voter, especially with ab- sentee ballots, is to have lots of names of people who have died or moved still on the rolls. Greenwood Commonwealth

He said Colton rejected the offer to enter an open plea. “I have a policy of not commenting on judge’s sentencing,” Colom said. “But it’s important to note that this was the judge’s decision.” Colton’s attorney, Rod Ray, did not return a call from The Dispatch by press time. Though the indictment did not indicate Colton Younger used a weapon during the robbery, the victim’s impact statement said she was in fear of her life “from getting a gun pointed at” her, according to previous reporting by The Dispatch. Younger was indicted for drug charges in Lown- des County in 2015 for possession of OxyContin, but those have been dis- missed as part of the plea, Colom said.
