For more than 25 years, Judicial Watch has been known for its
aggressive, leading edge use of public records laws and lawsuits, as well
as taxpayer, civil rights, and whistleblower protection litigation to fight
government corruption. In 2012, it launched a nationwide effort to promote
voting integrity and protect voting rights. As part of this effort,
Judicial Watch assembled a team of highly experienced voting rights
attorneys who have fought gerrymandering in Maryland, stopped
discriminatory elections in Hawaii, and cleaned up voter rolls in Ohio,
Indiana, and Kentucky, among other achievements.
In 2018, California settled a
federal lawsuit with Judicial Watch and began the process of removing up to
1.6 million inactive names from Los Angeles County’s voter rolls. In
April, Judicial Watch sued North
Carolina and Pennsylvania to
force them to clean up their voter rolls. Judicial Watch also just filed
a lawsuit to
stop the special, statewide vote-by-mail mandate issued by California
Governor Gavin Newsom.
