Several Southwestern Indiana counties are among those that have caught the attention of election watchers for failing to purge their voter rolls of people who have died or left town.
A national group called Judicial Watch has filed a lawsuit in an effort to force Indiana to clean up its voter rolls, and the U.S. Department of Justice has told the state in a letter that it, too, sees a problem. The Justice Department says Indiana has at least 10 counties with more registered voters than possibly eligible voters, and Judicial Watch says there are 12 — and even more that are close to having more registered voters than eligible voters.
..”Indiana’s election officials are shirking their responsibility to maintain clean voter registration lists. The citizens of Indiana should be outraged by the indifferent attitude their election officials have taken with respect to the National Voter Registration Act and to clean elections,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.
