- π― Judicial Watch has successfully removed over 5 million ineligible names from voter rolls nationwide through litigation and legal action.
- π‘ This cleanup is a result of enforcing the National Voter Registration Act, also known as the Motor Voter Bill, which requires states to maintain accurate voter rolls.
- π Key states like New York City (nearly 1 million names removed) and Kentucky (over 735,000 names removed) have seen significant purges due to Judicial Watch's lawsuits and consent decrees.
- β οΈ The primary goal of cleaning voter rolls is to reduce opportunities for voter fraud and ensure cleaner, more reliable elections.
Supreme Court Election Law Case
- π Judicial Watch is taking a significant election law case to the Supreme Court concerning the counting of ballots received after election day.
- ποΈ The case, filed on behalf of Congressman Mike Bost, challenges Illinois's law allowing ballots to be counted for up to 14 days post-election, arguing it contravenes federal law establishing a single election day.
- βοΈ A key issue is candidate standing, determining if candidates have the right to challenge election laws they believe are unlawful or invite fraud.
- π The Supreme Court's decision could set a precedent for election integrity nationwide and clarify who has the right to challenge election procedures in court.
Ashley Babbitt Wrongful Death Settlement
- β Judicial Watch secured a $4.975 million settlement with the federal government on behalf of Ashley Babbitt's family.
- π The lawsuit alleged wrongful death, assault, and battery, aiming to expose the circumstances surrounding Babbitt's killing on January 6, 2021.
- π£οΈ The settlement is described as a victory for justice, aiming to counter narratives that justified her death and protect her killer.
- π Judicial Watch continues to pursue records related to the incident, highlighting alleged cover-ups and special accommodations for the officer involved.
Fanny Willis Records Lawsuit
- π° A Georgia court ordered Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis to pay Judicial Watch nearly $22,000 in attorney's fees and costs.
- π This ruling stems from a lawsuit where Judicial Watch alleged Willis's office failed to comply with open records requests concerning communications with the January 6th Committee.
- π΅οΈ The court found that Willis's office initially denied having responsive records without conducting a proper search, later admitting to some records but claiming exemptions.
- π’ Judicial Watch emphasizes that this legal action exposed alleged corruption and collusion between Willis's office and the January 6th Committee, despite ongoing efforts to withhold documents.
