Warns California, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Colorado, Virginia to Clean Up Voting Rolls or Face a Federal Lawsuit

Although San Diego County removed 500,000 inactive names from voter rolls following Judicial Watch's settlement with Los Angeles County, San Diego still has a registration rate of 117% and has one of the highest registration rates in the country.

If few or no voters were removedthe jurisdiction is obviously failing to comply ... States must report the number of such removals to the EAC. Judicial Watch found major voting list issues in California, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Virginia, and Colorado.

"Dirty voting rolls can mean dirty elections and Judicial Watch will insist, in court if necessary, that states follow federal law to clean up their voting rolls," said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.

"Previous Judicial Watch lawsuits have already led to major cleanups in California, Kentucky, Indiana, and Ohio - but more needs to be done. It is common sense that voters who die or move away be removed from the voting rolls."

Judicial Watch is the national leader in enforcing the National Voters Registration Act, which requires states to take reasonable steps to clean their voting rolls.

In 2018, the Supreme Court upheld a massive voter roll clean up that resulted from a Judicial Watch settlement of a federal lawsuit with Ohio.

California also settled a similar lawsuit with Judicial Watch that last year began the process of removing up to 1.5 million "Inactive" names from Los Angeles County voting rolls.
