Dear Judicial Watch Member,
Judicial Watch has filed a federal lawsuit
against New York State and New York City
election officials failing to remove potentially hundreds of thousands
of ineligible voters from New York City registration rolls!
Judicial Watch is a national leader in voting integrity and
voting rights.
That’s
why I am asking you help us today with a special contribution!
Federal law requires states to “conduct a general program that
makes a reasonable effort to remove” from the official
voter rolls “the names of ineligible voters” who have
died or changed residence.
But our lawsuit details that New York City’s “own recent
data concedes that there were only 22 total removals”
under this provision “during a six-year period, in a city of over
5.5 million voters. These are ludicrously small numbers of removals
given the
sizablepopulations…”
Dirty voting rolls can mean dirty elections, and New York
City’s rolls are some of the dirtiest in the country. Elections
officials in New York City have simply refused to clean the voter lists for
years.
We want cleaner elections and we expect this lawsuit will cause New York
City to take the simple steps necessary to clean from its voter rolls the
names of hundreds of thousands of voters who have moved away or
died.
You see, where others talk, Judicial Watch acts, and with
real impact!
And
we can do even more if you will join with us and give us your support
today!
Our highly experienced team of voting rights attorneys cleaned up voter
rolls in California, Ohio, Indiana, and
Kentucky, among other achievements. We settled a voter
roll clean-up lawsuit against North Carolina earlier this
year after the state removed over 430,000 ineligible names from the voter
rolls.
We also won in Maryland, where a court ruled in favor
of our challenge to Maryland’s Democratic legislature
“extreme” congressional redistricting gerrymander.
We are also suing Illinois to prevent state election
officials from extending Election Day for 14 days beyond the date
established by federal law.
That’s
why I urge you to make a special gift to help our team of talented
investigators and attorneys challenge and stop efforts to corrupt our
elections, and enforce federal law requiringstates to clean their
voter rolls!
Your support is vital for us to continue to deliver all the legal
action, research, investigations and public education that you and other
Americans deserve from America’s largest and most effective
conservative watchdog.
Thank you!
Sincerely,
Tom Fitton
President
