In Los Angeles County there were so many invalid registered voters that remained on the voter rolls, and remained on the voter rolls, and remained on the voter rolls, that it took a lawsuit won by Judicial Watch to get the officials to start removing up to 1.5 million of them1,2. “The lawsuit alleged that Los Angeles County, with its more than 10 million residents, has more voter registrations than it has citizens old enough to register, with a registration rate of 112% of its adult citizen population.”2
1.5 million out of 5.4 million3 registered voters gives a whopping 28% of the voter rolls were invalid. That was just one year back Jan. 2019, and so the removal of invalid voters is probably not done yet.
Further, the state of California was involved and must remove up to 5 million invalid registered voters.2
These consist of people who moved, people who died, or are otherwise ineligible to cast a vote.
“Robert Popper, the Judicial Watch lawyer who fought the case... said while much of the national debate about voter fraud is on in-person abuses, the bigger problem is fraudulent double-voting, which can happen if someone is still getting a ballot or registered at their old residence, while also being registered and voting at their new home. He said Los Angeles’s inactive voter file is a major potential source for mischief.”2
Judicial Watch has successfully pursued similar suits in other states.4
Opinion:
This is far too much room in the system for hanky-panky. Why is this important to you? Every invalid vote invalidates or dilutes your valid vote.
Did your news source tell you about this? It did make the news, for about one day that I recall.
