Pressed by Judicial Watch, Pennsylvania Cleans Up Its Voter Rolls
Townhall ^ | 5/11/23 | Leah Barkoukis

Judicial Watch settled its election integrity lawsuit against Pennsylvania after the commonwealth acknowledged it removed more than 178,000 ineligible registrations on its voter rolls, the watchdog group announced Thursday.

The settlement commits the commonwealth and five of its counties to publicly reporting the number of registered and eligible voters, both active and inactive, for the next five years. “[Pennsylvania] also agreed to publish the total number of address confirmation notices sent to registered voters and the number returned as undeliverable or not responded to,” according to Judicial Watch, and “the total number of voters removed from the registration rolls on account of death, or for failing to respond to an address confirmation notice and failing to vote in the two most recent federal general elections.” Additionally, Pennsylvania must cover $15,000 in Judicial Watch’s legal costs and fees.

Judicial Watch had alleged Pennsylvania failed to maintain accurate voter rolls per federal law and sent a notice-of-violation letter to the Pennsylvania Secretary of the Commonwealth on April 22, 2021. Five months later, Pennsylvania told the court that it took immediate steps to address the issues raised by the watchdog group and removed all inactive voters eligible for removal, totaling 178,258.

How any of them voted? If it’s none it doesn’t matter. We still lost.

Why do we need Judicial Watch to clean up the rolls?

Ping. This is the sort of thing we are dealing with, and this is probably only the 178,000 they've found so far.

Trump "lost" by 80,555 votes.

That is a big win! Great job by Judicial Watch! Just doing the job that our republican representatives refuse to do.

The PA General Assemble (PA House & Senate) includes well over 100 republican representatives. So, why did it take Judicial Watch to do this? What are the PA state reps and senators doing about voter fraud? Don't answer that question!

Of course it matters. Please lay off the fraud denial.

Judicial Watch is not alone. Public Legal Interest Foundation (PILF) has also been suing states to clean up their voter roles.
