(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.

The voter rolls, in all 50 states, need to be purged of all deceased, duplicate, and illegal voters immediately.
Next year, with a Republican House and Senate, a national ID card needs to be issued to all adults who are legal citizens.
“Paul Ryan and the Republicans could have cleaned this up.”

Cheating is the only way Democrats can win in November. I sure hope it can be stopped by whatever legal authority before November. This should be one of the very top priorities of the administration.
Sure it is. Only if you get caught AND convicted.
One ghost, one vote in Iowa. Different rules in Chicago — ten votes.
How about a list of ALL US counties where this is occuring?
MY FiL who passed 40 years ago still votes Democrat in Illinois. Illinois is one of the most crooked states of them all when it comes to elections. Chicago tops the list of cities.
New legislation is needed to clean up voter rolls and severe penalties for those who vote illegally and for those who help illegal voting in any way.
Paul Ryan could not have cleaned this up.
He is as dirty as Sin.
University students a prt of this? voted for a while, then graduated and moved on without notifying the Election Board? (Iowa State has 33,000 students, but it is not in one of the counties mentioned.)
Yep, I’d bet your FiL is one of thousands of departed dems that still vote Illinois.
I have never heard a Democrat even attempt to explain these things. What is the reaction of a reporter to this information? I guess they think it isn’t real.
The Dem axiom. “. Always accuse the opposition of what you are doing!”
Perfect cover.
Meh...
Most discrepancies are rapidly growing Des Moines suburbs, so of course population stats from a couple years ago are going to be inaccurate.
Dallas County Iowa may have 30,000 more people now than it had in 2010, from 66,000 in 2010 to over 90,000 now. These are upscale areas.
It’s the non-citizen vote that the Democrats are counting on.

Which is the REAL election interference, which is why they are trying to throw up a lot of NOISE so no one notices the REAL election interference.
And it’s working. Trump administration seems deaf, dumb and blind to the REAL election interference.
LMAO! That was the first thing that crossed my mind....Damned Republicans cheating again!!
“Paul Ryan and the Republicans could have cleaned this up.”
Each State is responsible for removing illegal and dead voters from their voting roles. This is not something the Feds can do.
And you will hear the "Papers please" meme continually, personally I am long over any downside for this.
I suspect that list would include all of them, some planned ,some by lack of caring or a Federal Judge.
If only such a law existed. Oh wait dozens of them already do but they languish on Barr's unused list.
