A new federal lawsuit targeting California Secretary of State Shirley Weber is putting renewed scrutiny on the state’s voter registration system, with plaintiffs warning that hundreds of thousands of allegedly inactive registrations may still remain on the rolls in potential violation of federal election law.
The legal challenge argues that California has failed to properly maintain its voter database, leaving behind what it describes as a large number of outdated registrations. According to the complaint, roughly 873,092 voter registrations are considered inactive but have not been removed as required under federal standards.
The lawsuit was filed in federal court by Orange County Supervisor and Republican Secretary of State candidate Don Wagner, joined by the American Independent Party of California. The filing was prepared with assistance from Judicial Watch, a conservative watchdog group known for pursuing election-related litigation across multiple states.
At the center of the case is an allegation that California is not fully complying with federal voter roll maintenance requirements. Under federal law, states are expected to remove certain registrations when voters fail to participate in multiple consecutive federal election cycles and do not respond to official address verification notices. Plaintiffs argue that California has not consistently enforced these provisions.
