Dear Judicial Watch Member,
I have two HUGE updates to share from
Judicial Watch’s fight for election integrity:
- Oregon officials announced they will begin the process
of removing up to 800,000 inactive names off the
state’s voter rolls.
The announcement came AFTER Judicial Watch sued Oregon in federal court
under the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA).
Our lawsuit exposed that 35 of Oregon’s 36 counties had overall
registration rates exceeding 100% and that 29 of their 36 counties
hadn’t removed any inactive voters in over a decade.
This means that Judicial Watch lawsuits brought under NVRA have
now resulted in 5.8 million dirty voter names being removed around
the country – That’s 5.8 million fewer opportunities for
fraud
- BREAKING: The Supreme Court of the United States has announced
that arguments for Judicial Watch’s landmark Election Day lawsuit
against Mississippi will be heard March 23.
This news broke just as I was writing this update. The case will mark
Judicial Watch’s second Supreme Court appearance in recent
months and will seek to uphold a ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for
the Fifth Circuit which struck down a Mississippi law unconstitutionally
allowing election officials to count mail-in ballots received up to five
days after Election Day.
The Supreme Court will soon have an opportunity to reaffirm that
“Election Day” means what it says under federal law. Counting
ballots received after Election Day not only violates federal law but
encourages voter fraud and undermines voter confidence.
Our hope is that the Supreme Court will uphold the historic decision by
the Fifth Circuit which sensibly concluded that counting ballots
received after Election Day is unlawful.
Removing nearly 6 million invalid names from voter rolls and bringing
two landmark election integrity cases to The Supreme Court are
major milestones for Judicial Watch which are a testament
to our team’s heavy lifting and to our online community of supporters
who spread the word about our important work – Thank you!
While I’m proud of our achievements in the fight for clean
elections, they carry great costs and I must be honest about how much work
is still ahead. Just on the front for cleaning up voter rolls, our team
estimates that there are still 24 million dirty voter names on
rolls around the country.
If you’re able to, please mark
our major milestones for election integrity by making your first-time
contribution to Judicial Watch. Your financial support will ensure
we can quickly respond to election integrity challenges as they emerge in
this critical year.
With your
support and financial backing we never stop fighting for honest
elections you can trust.
Thank you again for helping us get this far and all that you do to
support election integrity.
Sincerely,
Tom Fitton
President, Judicial Watch
P.S. Just in the last couple of weeks, Oregon agreed to remove 800,000
dirty names from their voter rolls AFTER being sued by Judicial Watch AND
The Supreme Court announced that our historic case to end the practice of
counting ballots received after Election Day will be heard on March 23.
Judicial Watch truly does the HEAVY LIFTING when it comes to fighting for
clean elections and it’s a lift we can only make with your support.
Please
make your first-time gift now to help us keep the momentum going for
election integrity and to support the expected and unexpected fights
ahead.
