Federal Court Rules Judicial Watch Lawsuit Can Proceed to Force Cleanup of Colorado Voter Rolls
Another step forward in our historic efforts for cleaner elections. A federal court ruled that our lawsuit can proceed against Colorado officials to force a cleanup of the state’s voter rolls.
We filed the lawsuit on October 5, 2020, in the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado on behalf of three residents of Colorado against Jena Griswold, Colorado Secretary of State, and the State of Colorado for failing to clean the state’s voter rolls as required by the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 ( NVRA ). (Judicial Watch senior attorney Robert Popper is the director of our clean elections initiative.)
The new court ruling to allow our claims to proceed came after Colorado’s motion to dismiss the case, which the court denied in all key respects.
The court ruled that the individual plaintiffs have standing to sue based on the fact that “noncompliance with the NVRA undermines the individual plaintiffs’ confidence in the integrity of the electoral process and discourages their participation [in elections].”
In his ruling, Chief District Judge Philip A. Brimmer also ruled that our allegations about Colorado’s voting lists were enough to allow the lawsuit to proceed:
[Judicial Watch’s] claims that the Secretary is not complying with the NVRA are based on public records and statistical analysis. Plaintiffs insist that they have shown not only high registration rates, which they claim courts have found indicative of an NVRA violation, but also that the Secretary sends too few Confirmation Notices, removes too few registrants, and has too high a number of inactive voters on the rolls. . . . [T]he Court finds that plaintiffs have met their burden and have plausibly alleged that Colorado’s list maintenance program does not comply with the NVRA.
In our lawsuit against Colorado, we argue:
We noted that registration rates over 100%, poor processing of out-of-date registrations, and high levels of inactive registrations “indicate an ongoing, systemic problem with Colorado’s voter list maintenance efforts.” Colorado’s “failure to comply with their … voter list maintenance obligations” injures lawfully registered voters by “undermining their confidence in the integrity of the electoral process, discouraging their participation in the democratic process, and instilling in them the fear that their legitimate votes will be nullified or diluted.”
We asked the court to declare that Colorado and its Secretary of State are violating the NVRA and to order them to “develop and implement a general program that makes a reasonable effort to remove the registrations of ineligible registrants from the voter rolls in Colorado …”
Dirty voting rolls can mean dirty elections. And this court victory highlights how Colorado citizens and voters have a right to expect that the state’s voting rolls are reasonably kept up to date, as federal law requires.
Your Judicial Watch is a national leader for cleaner elections.
In 2020, we sued North Carolina and Pennsylvania for failing to clean their voter rolls.
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 federal lawsuit with us and in 2019 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 after it entered into a consent decree to end another Judicial Watch lawsuit. In September of last year, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky agreed to extend the consent decree through 2025 after finding that that Kentucky’s former Democrat Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grime breached its terms by delaying sending out voter notices, which allowed the names of people who have died or moved away to remain on the Commonwealth’s voter rolls.
In September 2020, we filed a lawsuit on behalf of the Illinois Conservative Union (ICU) and three of its officers, after Illinois state officials refused to allow them to obtain a copy of the state’s voter registration database. In June 2021, a federal court ruled the lawsuit could proceed.
In October 2020, we released a study that found 353 counties nationwide that had more voter registrations than citizens old enough to vote, i.e., counties where registration rates exceed 100%. These counties combined had about 1.8 million registrations over the 100%-registered mark.
Our 2019 study found 378 counties nationwide that had more voter registrations than citizens 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.
We are now analyzing more recent voter registrations and the latest Census data, so expect more from Judicial Watch as it pushes states to do the basics as required by law to keep voter registration rolls accurate

NO district should have a voter registration of 100% or greater. That should be a red flag for election fraud.
I understand the older dog having trouble making it outside, he was terribly weak in the rear. There is no excuse for the behavior of the younger dog. After the first incident Jill should have been the only one to handle him until he was properly socialized.
I’ll bet the SS agents that are charged with protecting POTUS are disgusted.
I watched the agents protecting Trump the other night, they looked strong and proud. They must love working for him.
Agreed, there was no excuse for her letting that carry on like that.
The more that happens the more I think she’s a dim bulb or just loves the limelight, maybe both.
All well and good, but with those RCV-enabled voting machines in use, even if every voter is a legal voter, elections can still be stolen.
We need to repeal RCV wherever it’s in use.
And we need to go back to dumb voting machines.
I am of the opinion that proof of citizenship (ID) and proof of residence (water bill, mail, etc) should be required to register to vote.
Further, on March 1st after a Presidential Election, all voting rolls should be cleared and starting March 15th, new voter registrations should be accepted.
Further, the Secretary of State should automatically receive a copy of change of address requests from the Post Office, and the DMV should be required to notify both SOS for gaining and loosing driver registrations. These should be used to trigger voter registration checks/verification process.
I’m not a big fan of sending a dog to be trained. It’s usually not the dog that needs training it’s the dogs people. Of course I’m not talking about specialty dogs, service dogs, K9 military and police, I’m talking about pets.
Dogs know who is in charge, and they are relieved when they find out it’s not them.
Probably a key factor in turning Colorado blue. Democrats cheat.
If a tree falls in the forest, does it make a sound?
If Democrats cheat, and officials refuse to notice it, do we have an opposition party?
Of course she loves the limelight; I’ve said since old, senile, weak (physically and mentally), stupid, brain maggot eaten joe was coerced into running that she was behind the whole scam.
You could see the palpable lust for the title of First Lady and the power that goes with it radiating off her.
Pushing her broken down, senile, incontinent, feeble old husband was her last chance at any semblance of power, with the chance of THE STEAL in her favor she took it.
She should actually be in prison for elder abuse!
