(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch announced that eight Iowa counties have more voter registrations than their eligible voting-age population. According to Judicial Watch’s analysis of data released by the U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC) in 2019 and the most recent U.S. Census Bureau’s five-year American Community Survey, eight Iowa counties are on the list of 378 counties nationwide that have more voter registrations than citizens living there who are 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. In Iowa, there are at least 18,658 “extra names” on the voting rolls in the eight counties at issue.

Under the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 ( NVRA ), Judicial Watch sent notice-of-violation letters to 19 large counties in five states (California, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Virginia, and Colorado) that it intends to sue unless the jurisdictions take steps to comply with the law and remove ineligible voter registrations. Section 8 of the National Voter Registration Act requires jurisdictions to take reasonable efforts to remove ineligible registrations from its rolls.

The chart below details the eight Iowa counties’ registration rate percentages:

	Reg Rate	Total Population
Dallas County	114.8	80,864
Johnson County	107.9	114,425
Lyon County	102.5	11,475
Madison County	102.5	15,720
Poweshiek County	102.1	18,428
Dickinson County	100.9	17,000
Scott County	100.8	171,493
Warren County	100.5	48,630

In addition to the eight listed above, Polk County, Iowa’s largest, has an unusually high registration rate of 95.9% of total eligible citizen voting-age population.“Dirty voting rolls can mean dirty elections and Iowa need to undertake a serious effort to address its voting rolls,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.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.Judicial Watch Attorney Robert Popper is the director of Judicial Watch’s Election Integrity initiative.

If there are some 60,000 students in Iowa alone, cycling through ever 4 years or so (60,000/4 = 15,000 per year), how come so many of them wind up climate-clinger SJWs voting D-column? And do they eat beef, or only corn?

But cleaning up voter rolls is disenfranchising voters.....

But cleaning up voter rolls is disenfranchising voters.....

Republican: "This voter roll says that Mr. Mick E. Mouse, residing at #0 Nowhere Lane is a registered Democrat and has been voting consistently since 1928. I'm going to remove this. It's bogus."

Democrat: "Oh, that's just great! You disenfranchised Mr. Mouse! You racist!!"

It’s fast becoming obvious that the DIMocRATS Party is now so INCOMPETENT that they cannot even FIX a party caucus in a small Midwestern State anymore.

The DIMs (as in NOT smart) are headed for a BLOODBATH on 03NOV20. - The Electoral College vote will not even be as close as the 2016 count was.

I’m a lot more suspicious of Scott County, which is known to bus in help from Chicago, and of loopy leftist Johnson County, home of the U of Iowa.<><>Sure, I don't really know Iowa politics. I was just looking at Dallas County cause it was the first one on the list.
