Legal watchdog scores with elimination of 5 million ineligible voters
A long-term campaign by a conservative legal watchdog to clean up the nation’s voter rolls has led to the erasure of over five million ineligible names since 2017.
In less than 10 years of legal action targeting sloppy voter lists, Washington-based Judicial Watch has used the National Voter Registration Act Of 1993 and its requirement that states regularly clean their lists to press for the elimination of bad names in nearly a dozen states and localities.
“Judicial Watch’s clean-up of over five million dirty names from voter rolls is a historic achievement for clean elections. I have no doubt that Judicial Watch’s election integrity heavy lifting helped stop the steal in 2024,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.
Republicans led by President Donald Trump have for years pressed states to take ineligible and sometimes dead voters off their lists. The legal work and lawsuits filed by Judicial Watch have seen the best results.
Fitton’s group this week tallied up its wins since 2017 to come up with its five million number.
The watchdog scored its biggest victory in Los Angeles County, which eliminated 1.2 million ineligible names after being sued to do what the NVRA demanded.
In other cases cited by Judicial Watch:
- New York City removed 918,139 ineligible names.
- Kentucky erased 735,000 ineligible voter names.
- Smaller numbers have been taken off the voter lists in Pennsylvania, Colorado, North Carolina, and Ohio.
