Judicial Watch Study: 1.8 Million Extra Registered Voters

judicialwatch_fb_weeklyupdate-jwstudy_12

 

Voter Registration in 353 Counties in 29 States Exceeds 100%

In 2018 the Supreme Court upheld a voter-roll cleanup program that resulted from our settlement of a federal lawsuit with Ohio. California settled a NVRA lawsuit with us and last year began the process of removing up to 1.6 million inactive names from Los Angeles County’s voter rolls. Kentucky also began a cleanup of hundreds of thousands of old registrations last year after it entered into a consent decree to end another Judicial Watch lawsuit. In September 2020, we sued Illinois for refusing to disclose voter roll data in violation of Federal law.

So we’ve been busy and effective. Unfortunately, the problem persists.

Our newly released study reveals that 353 U.S. counties had 1.8 million more registered voters than eligible voting-age citizens. In other words, the registration rates of those counties exceeded 100% of eligible voters. The study finds eight states showing statewide registration rates exceeding 100%: Alaska, Colorado, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, New Jersey, Rhode Island, and Vermont.

The September 2020 study collected the most recent registration data posted online by the states themselves. This data was then compared to the Census Bureau’s most recent five-year population estimates, gathered by the American Community Survey (ACS) from 2014 through 2018. ACS surveys are sent to 3.5 million addresses each month, and its five-year estimates are considered to be the most reliable estimates outside of the decennial census. 

Our latest study is necessarily limited to 37 states that post regular updates to their registration data. Certain state voter registration lists may also be even larger than reported, because they may have excluded “inactive voters” from their data. Inactive voters, who may have moved elsewhere, are still registered voters and may show up and vote on election day and/or request mail-in ballots. 

We rely on our voter registration studies to warn states that they are failing to comply with the requirements of the National Voter Registration Act of 1993, which requires states to make reasonable efforts to clean their voter rolls. We can and have sued to enforce compliance with federal law.

Earlier this month, we sued Colorado over its failure to comply with the National Voter Registration Act. In our new study, 42 Colorado counties—or two thirds of the state’s counties—had registration rates exceeding 100%. Particular data from the state confirms this general picture. As the complaint explains, a month-by-month comparison of the ACS’s five-year survey period with Colorado’s own registration numbers for the exact same months shows that large proportions of Colorado’s counties have registration rates exceeding 100%. Earlier this year, we sued Pennsylvania and North Carolina for failing to make reasonable efforts to remove ineligible voters from their rolls as required by federal law. The lawsuits allege that the two states have nearly 2 million inactive names on their voter registration rolls. We also sued Illinois for refusing to disclose voter roll data in violation of Federal law. 

Our study updates the results of a similar study from last year. In August 2019 we analyzed registration data that states reported to the federal Election Assistance Commission (EAC) in response to a survey conducted every two years on how states maintain their voter rolls. That registration data was compared to the then-most-recent ACS five-year survey from 2013 through 2017. The study showed that 378 U.S. counties had registration rates exceeding 100%. 

The new study shows 1.8 million excess, or ‘ghost’ voters in 353 counties across 29 states. The data highlights the recklessness of mailing blindly ballots and ballot applications to voter registration lists. Dirty voting rolls can mean dirty elections.

Judicial Watch is Joining The ObamaGate Movie as Executive Producers

Don’t expect to hear “Lights, camera, action!” in our Washington, DC hallways any time soon, but we are producing an important movie. It is another way to convey the details of the biggest political scandal in our nation’s history.

We are partnering with the Unreported Story Society (Ann McElhinney and Phelim McAleer) as executive producers of The ObamaGate Movie, the new film starring Dean Cain (Superman) and Kristy Swanson (Buffy the Vampire Slayer), which is set to premiere on YouTube on October 20 at 9 pm ET and tells the story of the hoax that was the Trump/Russia investigation.

According to the filmmakers, ObamaGate “exposes the Deep State plot to undermine the Trump candidacy and presidency,” and it reveals the lies behind the fake Russia collusion narrative. The ObamaGate Movie is a verbatim play that was filmed “Hamilton style” in Los Angeles on the Comedy Central stage at the Hudson Theater.

Our investigative work that has brought to light some of the most critical aspects of the “Russia hoax” investigation and the ongoing corruption at the DOJ and the FBI. 

I am excited to see some of the government records uncovered by Judicial Watch turned into a film. We have been working for years to expose the rampant corruption that has plagued the DOJ and the FBI. It’s exciting to see these discoveries turned into an entertaining and educational film that is easy to watch and understand – so even more Americans can see the despicable and deceptive ObamaGate plot to undermine President Trump and our Republic.

Phelim McAleer, co-writer of ObamaGate praised us for our work exposing government corruption. “Without Judicial Watch, the American people would still be largely in the dark about the ObamaGate abuse of President Trump and other innocent Americans,” McAleer said. “Since the film is entirely verbatim, it’s based off much of the investigative work uncovered by Judicial Watch and other investigators. We are so excited to work with Judicial Watch and help as many people as possible learn about this critical story.”

ObamaGate is a verbatim play that examines the truth behind the “Russia collusion” hoax. The film’s dialogue is taken word-for-word from text messages, emails, and testimony of the key figures behind the hoaxes. Dean Cain (Lois & Clark, Gosnell) and Kristy Swanson (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Psych) reprise their roles in ObamaGate as lovers Peter Strzok and Lisa Page. The Strzok-Page texts have revealed the depth of the plot against the president. Cain and Swanson are joined by John James Dynasty), who plays former FBI Director James Comey.

The movie is being released following several books and movies portraying the FBI and DOJ operatives as heroic. Showtime has released the big budget, pro-Comey mini-series called “The Comey Rule” and FBI lovebird Peter Strzok published his self-aggrandizing memoir, which has been accompanied by mostly softball media interviews and reviews from the mainstream media.

The ObamaGate film will be directed by veteran director Kiff Scholl. The film is co-written by Phelim McAleer and Brian Godawa. Godawa is a veteran screenwriter with credits including “To End All Wars” starring Keifer Sutherland.

The film was created through crowdfunding, and so far the campaign has raised over $150,000 to make the film. More information and the crowdfunding campaign can be accessed at ObamagateMovie.com.

The trailer for The ObamaGate Movie is available on YouTube now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FtGGkZTT9do&feature=youtu.be


Ballot Update: We Clean Up Dirty Voter Rolls

As we all recognize, the Left has big plans to “win” the election, no holds barred. We’re counter attacking with a grassroots effort to make sure voter rolls are clean. This is the foundation for trustworthy elections.

As Micah Morrison describes in his Investigative Bulletin, this is a tedious, in the weeds effort, but we aren’t deterred.

Back in January, Judicial Watch had some big news. Our investigation of voter rolls nationwide turned up 2.5 million extra names. Our analysis of data from the U.S Election Assistance Commission found 378 counties that had a combined 2.5 million more voter registrations than citizens old enough to vote. We warned five states—California, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Colorado, and Virginia—that we intended to sue unless they cleaned up their voter rolls.

Judicial Watch is the national leader in election integrity education and litigation. We’re cleaning up dirty voter rolls across the nation. Under the National Voter Registration Act, states are required to remove “inactive voters” from registration rolls if they do not respond to an address confirmation notice and then fail to vote in the next two general federal elections. Many “inactive voters” in fact have died or moved to a new location.

It’s not news that ballot disputes are bitter partisan affairs, filled with wild attacks and misinformation. But Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton insists that voting abuse cases should not be a Right-Left death match. “If you’re a Leftist Democrat trying to take on an incumbent in a corrupt jurisdiction, voter fraud can keep you from gaining traction as well,” he says. Judicial Watch recently investigated such a case in New Jersey.

In April, we sued Pennsylvania for failing to make reasonable efforts to remove ineligible voters from their rolls, as required by the NVRA. Earlier this month, Pennsylvania offered a limited capitulation: it admitted it had reported incorrect information to a federal agency on the removal of ineligible voters.

The Pennsylvania numbers were pathetic. The state initially claimed that in one county of 457,000 registrants, it had found only eight inactive names eligible for removal under the NVRA; in another county of 357,000 registrants, five such names had been removed; in a third county of 403,000 registrants, four such names removed. The state has since revised its numbers, but even the new numbers are too small. Pennsylvania now admits that in eighteen other counties—which together contain twenty-five percent of the entire state’s registered voters—it removed a grand total of fifteen inactive, ineligible voters.

Judicial Watch is keeping the pressure on Pennsylvania. “Pennsylvania’s voting rolls are such a mess that even Pennsylvania can’t tell a court the details of how dirty or clean they are,” Tom says. “The simple solution is to follow the federal law and take the necessary and simple steps to clean up their voter rolls.”

We’ve also gone to court in Colorado to clean up voter rolls. Authoritative studies in recent years show that a majority of Colorado counties have registration rates that exceed 100% of the voting-age population. (Read more about the studies in the Judicial Watch lawsuit, here.) In fact, Colorado leads the nation in percentages of counties with more than 100% of eligible voters registered to vote.

Our lawsuit charges “an ongoing, systemic problem with Colorado’s voter list maintenance obligations” and asks the court to order the state to “implement a general program that makes a reasonable effort to remove the registration of ineligible registrants” from voter rolls.

In April, we filed suit against North Carolina for the same reason—large numbers of ineligible voters on the state voter rolls. Our lawsuit argues that North Carolina has about one million inactive voters on its rolls. That’s about seventeen percent of the state’s total voter registration.

The state has a terrible voter registration record, one of the worst in the nation. In nineteen North Carolina counties, twenty percent of the registrations were inactive. In three other counties, twenty-five percent or more were inactive.

We told the court that North Carolina failed to clean up its voter rolls. In addition, we say, the state violated the National Voter Registration Act by not providing Judicial Watch with public records related to registration numbers.

Public records are something we know a lot about. Judicial Watch is famously at the forefront of freedom of information efforts around the nation. Less well known, but no less important, are our efforts in election integrity education and litigation. For more on that, take a look at this discussion between Tom Fitton and Judicial Watch Election Integrity Initiative Director Robert Popper on cleaning up dirty voter rolls.
