(Washington, DC) Judicial Watch announced that eight Iowa counties have more voter registrations than their eligible voting-age population. According to Judicial Watchs analysis of data released by the U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC) in 2019 and the most recent U.S. Census Bureaus 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, Iowas 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 Watchs Election Integrity initiative.

From my experience working in the Polling places (in Calif.”, most of the people running everything are Dems.
Most Repubs have jobs, and bills, and “live” children.
Exactly. I wonder, what's a reasonable %?
In Wisconsin its a bit different - a new voter or a person changing residence in a Dem district may expect to receive up to 7 ballots ...
The Feds are sure doing fine job of preventing it. Fed Judges regularly prevent any corrections in registrations, lot of Voter ID implementations of Voter ID requirements ruled illegal or minority voter repression.
Wrong!
Motor voter and the act are federal laws mandating clean up.
Republicans never enforced them for fear of being called racist.
Believe it or not they even got some cleanup of the rolls in California.
Our people should have been - and should be - doing this work. God bless Judicial Watch.
Im local (West Des Moines) and have been paid by candidates for voter data analysis. Ill check this stuff out carefully.
Paul Pate, whom I can personally vouch for, says flat out the claims are false.

right?
U of Iowa is in Johnson Co.
30,000+ students

... Iowas voter registration statistics are publicly available on the Secretary of States website. They are updated monthly. These numbers show that the ones claimed by Judicial Watch in their news release today are patently false...
Well a quick look around, Wikipedia shows the Dallas County 2010 census at 66M people. So JW’s population of ~80M definitely is accounting for population growth. Side note, Dallas County is decently heavily Republican, so that’s an oddity, usually these kinds of issues show up in Dem-heavy areas.
So, the off-set numbers have to be from the registered voters lists, and those look close to me. Pate’s official website’s pdf numbers show 62,825 registered voters (Dallas County). A total population of 80M should give about 60M registered voters. (US is estimated 245MM/323MM for 2016, or 75.8% of the population being voting-age.)
So, just a quick look and I’d say JW’s percentage of 114% registered looks decently accurate. Maybe a little high, but it’s definitely not even close to the 70% average across these US. It’s far enough from the national mean to definitely warrant a closer look.
Less than 39,000 voted in the 2016 election.
Census Bureau says pop. 90,000+ in mid 2019, with probably 60,000 voting age. Adding about 3,000 people per year. Paperwork cant be easy to keep up with.
Im a lot more suspicious of Scott County, which is known to bus in help from Chicago, and of loopy leftist Johnson County, home of the U of Iowa.
I promise you, illegal Mexicans and fake voters arent voting in Dallas County.
I have never heard a Democrat even attempt to explain these things.

They just say there’s no “substantiated evidence of voter misconduct at any scale.”
