Judicial Watch Warns 14 Counties in Five States to Clean Voter Lists or Face Federal Lawsuits

In important news, Judicial Watch sent official notice letters to election officials in 14 counties and five states-Arkansas, California, Illinois, New York, and Oregon-notifying them of evident violations of the National Voter Registration Act of 1993.

The letters detail how these states' own reported data show that their counties removed an "Absurdly low" or "Impossible" number of inactive voter registrations under key provisions of the NVRA. The letters threaten federal lawsuits unless the violations are corrected in a timely fashion.

The NVRA requires states to "Conduct a general program that makes a reasonable effort to remove" from the official voter rolls "The names of ineligible voters" who have died or changed residence.

The data show that many U.S. counties reported mere handfuls of removals-and often no removals-of registrants who failed to respond to an address confirmation and failed to vote for two consecutive elections.

In 2018, the Supreme Court upheld a voter roll cleanup program that resulted from our settlement of a federal lawsuit with Ohio.

In October 2020, we released a study that found 353 counties nationwide that had more voter registrations than citizens old enough to vote, i.e., counties where registration rates exceed 100%. Based on this research, in 2020, a federal court ordered the State of Maryland to produce complete voter registration records for Montgomery County that include the registered voters' dates of birth.

In September 2020, we filed a lawsuit on behalf of the Illinois Conservative Union and three of its officers, after Illinois state officials refused to allow them to obtain a copy of the state's voter registration database.
