6 MILLION Ineligible Voters Removed--what, really?
By Bill Wilson, KIN Senior Analyst
WASH—Apr 23—KIN--There’s a number that ought to stop people in their tracks, 372,000. That’s how many ineligible or inactive voter registrations were removed from Colorado’s voter rolls following a lawsuit brought by Judicial Watch. This wasn’t a guess or a political talking point, it was the result of a legal action grounded in the requirements of the National Voter Registration Act of 1993, which mandates that states maintain accurate and up-to-date voter lists. After settling the case in 2023, Colorado confirmed those removals, a move framed as a necessary step toward election integrity. When hundreds of thousands of names can be removed in one state alone, it raises a simple, unavoidable question, how many more remain elsewhere?
Colorado is far from an outlier. Across the country, similar efforts have yielded striking results. In Kentucky, roughly 735,000 ineligible registrations were removed following a consent decree tied to a Judicial Watch lawsuit. New York City reported 918,139 removals, including nearly half a million between 2023 and early 2025. In Los Angeles County, officials confirmed that more than 1.2 million names were cleared from the rolls. Add it up, and Judicial Watch reports that its legal actions have helped remove about six million ineligible names nationwide. These are not small clerical fixes. These are large-scale corrections in major urban centers, often governed by Democratic leadership for decades.
That reality brings the political tension into focus. Efforts to clean voter rolls, require identification, and verify eligibility are met with resistance from Democratic officials and activists. The stated concern is voter access, but the scale of these roll cleanups suggests something deeper is at stake. If hundreds of thousands, even millions, of ineligible names are sitting on voter rolls, maintaining the status quo raises legitimate concerns about system integrity. Clean rolls do not suppress legitimate voters, they protect them by ensuring that each lawful vote carries its proper weight. When reforms aimed at accuracy are opposed so aggressively, it cast a dark shadow ringing hollow over their ridicule and stonewalling of those demanding voter reform.
The broader picture is one of accountability. Election systems rely on trust, and trust depends on transparency and accuracy. Laws like the NVRA were designed to strike that balance, protecting access while requiring maintenance. The work led by Judicial Watch and others highlights gaps that had gone unaddressed for years. Courts in states like Oregon and Illinois are now allowing similar lawsuits to move forward, signaling that this issue is far from settled. The question moving forward is whether Democratic Party leaders will continue to resist them. As Proverbs 14:34 reminds us, “Righteousness exalts a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.” Clean elections are part of that righteousness. Say it plainly, integrity matters.
