California's big inactive voters still signed up

Independence Journal - New court filings say California is sitting on 873,000 inactive voter registrations, raising fresh alarms about dirty rolls in a state already infamous for one‑party rule and mail‑in voting. Judicial Watch has sued California in federal court, alleging the state is ignoring voter‑roll clean‑up duties under federal law.

The group says at least 873,000 inactive registrations are still on the books across dozens of counties. Prior Judicial Watch cases forced major clean‑ups in Oregon and Colorado, removing hundreds of thousands of ineligible names.
Federal law requires states to make a “reasonable effort” to remove ineligible voters, but does not allow automatic purges of inactive voters.
