Judicial Watch: Eight Iowa Counties Have Total Registration Rates Larger than Eligible Voter Population – at Least 18,658 Extra Names on Iowa Voting Rolls

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.

[gogeo]

Even more criminal when you realize that not all eligible voters register.

Exactly. I wonder, what's a reasonable %?

[PIF]

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 ...

This is not something the Feds can do.

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.

[oldbill]

Wrong!

Motor voter and the act are federal laws mandating clean up.
Republicans never enforced them for fear of being called racist.

The voter rolls, in all 50 states, need to be purged of all deceased, duplicate, and illegal voters immediately.

Or, just purge the voting rolls of EVERYBODY. For people who want to vote, it's easy enough to re-register. Do this every four years, on the same date the president is sworn in. (Gives time for rolls to still be populated for any lower races that have runoffs or such.)

Obviously there's a lot of other voting fixes that are needed, but this should help clean the rolls of deaths/moves, and ensure that current registrations are decently current and mostly legitimate.

[Svartalfiar]

Most discrepancies are rapidly growing Des Moines suburbs, so of course population stats from a couple years ago are going to be inaccurate.

Their numbers are based off a five-year survey, so that's the most they'll be out-of-date. And I would assume that they take into account some kind of population growth based on that number, and not just using it unmodified.

But even if their population numbers are low, those percentages are still rather high. If I remember correctly, about 30% of eligible voters aren't registered, nationwide (I believe this number includes total registrations, which also still includes all those dead/duplicate registrations). So sure, your numbers will vary, but you should expect any given area to have a 70% voter registration rate. Statistically, 100% is an impossibility (outside of a tiny town), as there's always going to be some people that just don't register, or don't want to, or can't. So even a 90% rate would be suspiciously high.

Looks like Judicial Watch is busting up their dirty little game.

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.

I’m local (West Des Moines) and have been paid by candidates for voter data analysis. I’ll check this stuff out carefully.

Paul Pate, whom I can personally vouch for, says flat out the claims are false.

... Iowa’s voter registration statistics are publicly available on the Secretary of State’s website. They are updated monthly. These numbers show that the ones claimed by Judicial Watch in their news release today are patently false...

Well Pate doesn't go into much detail on the sos site, he just says JW is wrong, go to our website for accurate numbers. He doesn't say much on why JW's numbers are so far off. But, considering they've already won at least one SC case, I would tend to believe JW isn't entirely off-base here. Maybe they pulled incorrect numbers from somewhere, or one guy made a typo(s), but they have a history with Ohio, Kentucky, LA, etc of doing a good job cleaning up the rolls that the government didn't.

But we should definitely have a much better idea of both of their accuracies with the full census coming up soon.

[Svartalfiar]

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 can’t be easy to keep up with.

Right, and those numbers put you right around the 100%+ mark. Supposed to be ~60M voting age, and the SoS website says there's right at 63M. A little lower than JW's 114%, but still at or above the 100% impossibility.

If we go off of the national average, a 90M population should have ~68M voting age (75.8%), and only 48M (70%) actually registered.

[jjotto]

I’m 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 aren’t 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.”
