Judicial Watch is once again doing the job that California officials refuse to do.
The watchdog group has uncovered nearly 873,000 inactive voter registrations in the state, raising alarms about possible fraud and the integrity of upcoming elections.
According to Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton, these names have been inactive for several election cycles, meaning they should have been purged from the rolls years ago.
Fitton detailed the staggering figures to show the scale of the state’s negligence.
He said that 326,608 names have been inactive for at least three consecutive federal elections, meaning the registrants have not voted or even communicated with election officials for six years.
On top of that, 151,202 names have been inactive for four federal cycles, which adds up to eight years of silence.
And unbelievably, nearly 34,000 have been inactive for a decade or longer.
Fitton pointed out that each of these inactive records represents a threat to election security.
The numbers come at a crucial time, as California enters another election year.
The upcoming races for governor and Los Angeles mayor will play a major role in determining whether the state continues its slide into liberal dysfunction or if voters will finally make a course correction. For now, the system is broken and ripe for abuse.
Judicial Watch created an image breaking down the data as part of its push to force California to comply with federal law requiring states to maintain accurate voter rolls.
The organization has repeatedly pressured states to clean up their lists, with Fitton insisting that election integrity is not negotiable.
Sadly, California’s leadership appears far more interested in preserving their political machine than ensuring honest elections.
California has become infamous for its chaotic election processes, and incidents of shady behavior continue to surface.
A video earlier this year caught individuals openly paying people five dollars each to sign fake names and addresses on ballots.

These people are paying people $5 dollars to sign a ballot, but as you watch the video their telling them what name to sign (which is someone else name) and what address to write. Seems kind of suspicious to me. Why not sign your own… pic.twitter.com/GIHdLHaHCl— jj smith (@war24182236) March 9, 2026
Many of those being paid were homeless, and the scheme looked like something straight out of a bad political thriller.
Just this month, federal prosecutors reached a deal with Brenda Lee Brown Armstrong, a longtime voting activist, who admitted to illegally paying homeless individuals to sign petitions and register to vote.
Armstrong has been at it for twenty years, working with “coordinators” who paid her to bribe people and collect bogus signatures.
It is yet another example of how California’s lax enforcement has turned democracy into a playground for fraud.
Allowing nearly a million inactive names to remain on the rolls practically invites more of this behavior.
When the state automatically mails ballots to every registered voter, those inactive names become easy targets for misuse.
Judicial Watch has repeatedly argued that these rolls must be cleaned up to protect California’s election integrity.
But the left’s obsession with universal mail in voting and automatic registration only makes the problem worse.
California Democrats repeatedly claim that election fraud is a myth, but the evidence keeps piling up.
Every exposed scam, every audit ignored, every suspicious ballot story chips away at what little credibility remains in the system.
Judicial Watch’s findings are not a conspiracy theory.
They are a documented failure of the state’s responsibility to ensure fair elections.
The political establishment in Sacramento treats such revelations with predictable arrogance, pretending that accountability is an extremist demand.
Meanwhile, patriots across the state see exactly what is going on.
Judicial Watch is not accusing any individual of fraud, but merely exposing a vulnerability that an honest government would be ashamed to ignore.
Despite the left’s dominance in urban centers, much of California still believes in law, order, and election integrity.
In the 2024 election cycle, ten counties turned red for Donald Trump, proving that California is not as hopelessly blue as the left dreams it to be.
The fact that the Democrats cling so tightly to their broken system tells patriots everything they need to know about who really benefits from chaos.
Judicial Watch continues to do what state agencies fail to do: defend honest elections.
The group’s findings remind Americans that vigilance matters, especially in a state that has made voter transparency optional.
If California truly wants trust in its elections, it can start by cleaning its own lists. Otherwise, Judicial Watch will be there to remind them that integrity is not partisan, it is essential.

Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton, revealed huge numbers
have been inactive on voter rolls for several election cycles.
Fitton detailed the staggering figures to show the scale of the state’s negligence
......unbelievably, nearly 34,000 have been inactive for a decade or longer.
The corrupt state should have purged these names from the rolls years ago.
California used to be a reliable REPUBLICAN State.
Now you know what happened...............
I’ve long suspected California voting as tainted. The Republican would be winning then the votes from San Francisco would start coming in late, close enough to give the RAT a victory. Bob Dornan lost his election in 1996 because of vote fraud. He complained about it plenty but nothing was done. That became the green light for even more fraud and the corruption spread nationwide.
Otherwise, Judicial Watch will be there to remind them that integrity is not partisan, it is essential.
Not partisan? Demoncrats need this.
Well if the Dems won a bunch of elections and the dead people did not vote, then how many dead people would vote if it was a close election?
How many dead people have not been purged and have been voting for all this time? They are active and will not get purged. This is the real problem.
Adam Schiff is a Senator for California. That a blatantly crooked and dishonest POS like him can be voted for anything, much less a Senator, is proof of how bad the corruption in California has become.
He’s still on this side of the grass!............
Ah, more of what the media will described as “debunked claims”
In a deep blue state, it took three contacts to the bureau of elections to get my deceased Dem registered father removed from the voting roles. In a deep blue city in a deep blue state, the only election that actually matters is the primary for Democrats.
My republican mother’s name, however, was already removed the first time it was checked after her passing.
Just another way that the Democrats maintain their superiority in voting.
How you can spot vote fraud today. Compare after election poll center data tape results (posted or SUPPOSED to be posted for three days after) to mail in ballot results. Almost always the results are statistically opposed to each other for political machine candidates, ie, poll tapes show 55-45 and mail in results show 30-70. This is seen in swing counties like Ventura or Santa Clara. This technique is what exposed election fraud in the 2020 election.
Live Science??? Did you mean LifeZette?
One “dead people” problem is the way the Social Security Administration reports the dead. The SSA knows, most, but not all of the dead. The SSA often depends on State agency reports, which depend on county agency reports. The process is very, very slow.
In contrast, private sector LEGACY.COM reports 95% of deaths within week of death.
When the SSA does receive death data, it often holds it because some detail of the death is being “studied”. Did Sepsis or Pneumonia cause the death. For both voting rolls, and receiving welfare, it does not matter the details of the death. Dead is dead. But that is not the way the SSA sees it.
For Trump to change the SSA bureaucracy would take a miracle.
Yes, it was a slip of the mouse...............

Good effort … and beneficial. But the REAL DIRT consists of registrants whose records have been “active” (voting regularly) but the voting has been by IMPOSTER VOTERS. Those are ACTUAL FRAUDULENT AND “UNDETECTED” VOTES.
Why are we not surprised?
If the dhimmicraps can’t cheat they will have a tough hill to climb to any election victory.
And, I’m glad for that.
Interesting choice of words. Senator for California. Not Senator FROM California. I'm guessing he's actually a Marylander.
