Judicial Watch Finds Millions of ‘Extra’ Registrants on Voting Rolls – Warns California, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Colorado, Virginia to Clean Up Voting Rolls or Face a Federal Lawsuit
The derelict counties — mostly in California — are listed at the link. It will be interesting to see what the popular vote numbers are in November compared to 2016.
[JudicialWatch] Judicial Watch announced today it is continuing its efforts to force states and counties across the nation to comply with the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 (NVRA), by sending notice-of-violation letters to 19 large counties in five states that it intends to sue unless the jurisdictions take steps to comply with the law and remove ineligible voter registrations within 90 days. Section 8 of the National Voter Registration Act requires jurisdictions to take reasonable efforts to remove ineligible registrations from its rolls.

Despite successful litigation by Judicial Watch to bring counties and states into compliance with the National Voter Registration Act, voter registration lists across the country remain significantly out of date. According to Judicial Watch’s analysis of data released by the U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC) this year, there are 378 counties nationwide that have more voter registrations than citizens living there and old enough to vote, i.e., counties where registration rates exceed 100%. These 378 counties combined had about 2.5 million registrations over the 100%-registered mark, which is a drop of about one million from Judicial Watch’s previous analysis of voter registration data.
Down by 1,000,000? That’s like a Palestinian number!
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.

"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 Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party,, 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. Kentucky also began a cleanup of up to 250,00 names last year after it entered into a consent decree to end another Judicial Watch lawsuit.

#2 How about nullifying the vote in those counties until they prove compliance?

#3 I love the smell of an electoral college sweep in the November morning. Reagan broke the record with 525 electoral votes which represented 97.6 percent of all 538 electoral votes.

#5 Fraud on a massive scale. When the "Imaginary Citizens" are used to Adjust the US Census to give those districts extra federal funding...

#6 If there is evidence of spurious voters in a district, can't the last election be deemed void and the membership of the representative be annulled ? I think that should only follow.

#7 Trump's going to have to pull off a 50 state sweep to beat Reagan's impressive win. He shares some traits The Great Communicator though so who knows?

#8 So what's the big deal? Dead people, and those who moved away can't vote.

Can they? Well, they shouldn't.
