'Dirty voter rolls’ slammed, 131% of eligible DC voters registered

From The Washington Examiner, by Washington Secrets Columnist Paul Bedard, 8 December 2023, 11:45 AM.

Here is the lede plus one:

Several states and the District of Columbia have been hit by an election watchdog for failing to clean up their voter rolls of the dead and ineligible.

Judicial Watch said it just finished investigating registrations and sent letters to the district, California, and Illinois warning that they are violating the National Voter Registration Act by not cleaning up the rolls.

I actuzally think the head of our Electionx Office here in Lowell, Mr Greg Pappas, is working on clearing up our election rolls.  And it is needed.  Somnetimes a typo entering data gives us a strange entry, like the person on a recent (last eight months) Lowell roll with a birthyear in the 1600s.  Just a typo.

On Tuesday Evening the Lowell City Council voted to appoint Ms Lynda Clark to the Election Commission, replacing Ms Bev Anthes, who moved to Conneticutt four or five months ago.  I was sorry to see her leave our fair city.  Apparently so was the City's IT Department.  Today the Election Commission Web Page still shows Bev on the Election Commission.  Maybe next week.

I think Ms Clark is a solid choice.  Her background is in local government, where she is knowledgeable and tenacious.  Good luck, Lynda.
