Full title: California Begins Massive Voter Roll Clean-Up – Notifies Up to 1.5 Million ‘Inactive’ Voters as Part of Judicial Watch Lawsuit Settlement
(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch announced today that it has been informed that Los Angeles County has sent notices to as many as 1.5 million inactive voters on its voter rolls. This mailing is a step toward removing the names of voters who have moved, died, or are otherwise ineligible to vote. The massive mailing is the result of a settlement agreement with Judicial Watch requiring the County to remove as many as 1.5 million inactive registrations. In addition, the California secretary of state has alerted other California counties to clean up their voter registration lists to comply with the federal National Voter Registration Act (NVRA), as the secretary promised to do in that same settlement agreement.
All of this is the result of a federal lawsuit Judicial Watch filed in 2017 to force the cleanup of Los Angeles County’s voter rolls ( Judicial Watch, Inc., et al. v. Dean C. Logan, et al. (No. 2:17-cv-08948)). Judicial Watch sued on its own behalf and on behalf of Wolfgang Kupka, Rhue Guyant, Jerry Griffin, and Delores M. Mars, who are lawfully registered voters in Los Angeles County. Judicial Watch was joined in this lawsuit by Election Integrity Project California, Inc., a public interest group that has long been involved in monitoring California’s voter rolls.
Under the terms of the settlement agreement , voters who do not respond to the notices sent by the County and who do not vote in the next two federal elections must be removed from the voting rolls. Secretary Padilla also agreed to update the state’s online NVRA manual in order to make clear that ineligible names must be removed and to notify each California county that they are obliged to do this. On April 11, Secretary Padilla notified Judicial Watch that this part of the settlement agreement had been implemented.
The agreement also required the office of the secretary of state to send a written advisory to all county clerks/registrars of voters in California stating that current federal law requires the cancellation of a registrant who has failed to respond to an official notice and who then fails to vote, offers to vote, correct the registrar’s record, “or otherwise have their eligibility to vote confirmed for a period of time including the next two general federal elections.”
The updated California National Voter Registration Act Manual, March 2019, conforms to this standard. In April and May 2019, the California secretary of state provided a training presentation to all 58 counties in California regarding the proper list maintenance procedures under the NVRA.
As Judicial Watch previously noted , Los Angeles County has over 10 million residents, more than the populations of 41 of the 50 United States. California is America’s largest state, with almost 40 million residents. The County had allowed more than 20% of its registered voters to become inactive without removing them from the voter list.
Judicial Watch discovered that California had treated the removal of inactive voters as permissive, not mandatory, and had not cleaned its voter registration rolls in at least 20 years. The Supreme Court affirmed last year in an opinion affirming a historic Judicial Watch settlement with Ohio that the NVRA “makes this removal mandatory.”
“This Judicial Watch settlement will result in the immediate and ongoing clean-up of voter rolls in California and LA County,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “This victory for clean elections in California will set another national precedent for other states to take reasonable steps to ensure that dead and other ineligible voters are removed from the rolls.”
Judicial Watch is the national leader in enforcing the provisions of the NVRA. In early January, Judicial Watch announced that it signed a settlement agreement with the State of California and County of Los Angeles under which they will begin the process of removing from their voter registration rolls as many as 1.5 million inactive registered names that may be invalid. This was only the third statewide settlement achieved by private plaintiffs under the NVRA – and Judicial Watch was the plaintiff in each of those cases. The other statewide settlements were with Ohio (in 2014) and with Kentucky (2018), which agreed to a court-ordered consent decree.
Ballot harvesting is legal in CA.
One of my kids left the state in 1998 and that name continues to be printed on the voter roll every year.
Now, just think about all of the college students that register and get on the rolls. Those names sitting on the rolls make college towns and unbeatable opponent for the schmucks living in the rest of the county.
“I hate opening mail when i’m dead.”
LOL
They need to follow up and make sure that Los Angles County actually does purge their rolls.
I could see their rolls dropping by 2 million voters if they really do the verifications.
Dead people, imaginary people, and non-citizens do not get a vote. And eligible voters can only vote once.
They need to have backup forces ready to stomp on the "vote harvesting" and "provisional voting" scams too.
And that is almost half of the amount by which Clinton exceeded Trump’s votes i.e. “popular vote”
Donald J. Trump - 62,980,160
Hillary R. Clinton - 65,845,063
(2,864,903)
ONE COUNTY
Perfect. Next one - "Send this back if you don't want your vote to be recorded for the democrat for president"
Illegal aliens can get California Driver Licenses. Is there any thing on the license itself that identifies them as illegals?
Because a Californian Liberal told me that as far as motor/voter goes, an illegal can’t get signed up to vote when they get their license. I’m not buying it, of course.
But even so, what does it take to register to vote in California? My daughter just got her license and she then used it to register to vote. I went along with her. A license was all they required, as it had the street address on it.
What about the new homeless tent city by City Hall? Can’t disenfranchise all those stinky, strung-out, crazy folks, now can you?
The mailing in New York says that if you DON'T send this back, we'll assume you no longer live at this address--and you'll be stricken from the voter rolls.
I think we send it a couple of times before scrubbing the name.
It will be good to find out which it is in S.B. As with the "Eats, shoots, and leaves" joke, small variations in punctuation and word order can mean a lot!
Wow. When does Fitton sleep? He’s our true AG, doing the job actual attorneys won’t do.
That's about 3 million Dem votes...
Ironically the hildabeast's much vaunted "popular vote win".
“send this back, if you no longer live at this address”
Is that anything like, “If your phone doesn’t ring, it’s me”?
Left in 2006. AFAIK, there is no mechanism for deleting yourself from the voter list, or verifying “you” are no longer voting.
Que liberals screaming “voter suppression”.
Hillary voters from last election.
Thank you, Judicial Watch.
It’s kinda fair . . Democrats get the dead voters . . Republicans get the live ones!
You are entirely correct, and your point perfectly illustrates why proglibs view deplorables as the "stupid party". So many seemingly don't get that they play to win. Period.the.end. And so naturally they view us a dunces who somehow didn't get the memo.
Control, power & wealth are the motivations. If they don't have electoral power, they shift to the courts. If they are denied election fraud, they will simply move onto another tactic. The key take away is they never give up. While conservatives often express the sentiment to be "left alone", that's the exact opposite of the left. They don't enjoy peace, quiet and solitude. It's all about resentment, hate and retribution.
And so right now we're talking election fraud, but that's only the tactic du jour, not the end goal. To actually address the leftist problem, they have to be destroyed at the root.
you should be able to check on the Los Angeles County registrar of voters web site.
