Democrats are calling on Ohio's Secretary of State to restore 27,000 voter registrations purged from the rolls ahead of this month's election. This comes as voters will decide on the highly debated reproductive rights amendment on the ballot. On Cincinnati Edition, we discuss why Democratic lawmakers call this a political move and how Secretary of State Frank LaRose is responding.
