They DIDN'T show up to vote! Get it?

They REPEATEDLY failed to vote in successive elections and failed to validate they were still at the address they used to register to vote.

The Ohio version of the law was upheld by SCOTUS:

Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr., writing for the majority, said federal laws allowed such notices as part of a process to cull inaccuracies from the voting rolls. A key provision, he wrote, “simply forbids the use of nonvoting as the sole criterion for removing a registrant, and Ohio does not use it that way.”

“Instead,” he wrote, “Ohio removes registrants only if they have failed to vote and have failed to respond to a notice.”

Justice Alito wrote that Congress had good reason to urge states to clean up their voting rolls. Citing a 2012 report from the Pew Center on the States, he wrote that some 24 million voter registrations were estimated to be invalid or significantly inaccurate, and that 2.75 million people were registered to vote in more than one state.
