Another victory for Tom Fitton and Judicial Watch.
PORTLAND, Oregon (PNN) - January 14, 2026 - Judicial Watch founder Tom Fitton announces in June 2025 that his organization is suing Oregon to remove dirty names from the voting rolls.
Last June, Tom Fitton, the president of Judicial Watch, announced that his organization was suing Oregon to remove the names of inactive voters from the state’s voter rolls.
Here is what Tom said. “Hey, everyone. Huge news. Judicial Watch lawsuits led to the cleanup of 4 million dirty names from voting rolls in just the last two years. But there’s more heavy lifting to be done for cleaner elections. That’s why Judicial Watch just sued the state of Oregon to force it to finally clean up its voting rolls, which are a mess. Federal law requires states to take reasonable steps to clean up their voting rolls, and Oregon hasn’t been doing that.”
“In fact, our new lawsuit, just filed for and with the Constitution Party of Oregon and Oregon Voters, details how 29 of Oregon’s 36 counties removed few or no registrations as required by federal election law,” said Fitton.
“Oregon and 35 of its counties had overall registration rates exceeding 100%. Frankly, Oregon has the highest known inactive registration rate of any state in the nation. Dirty voting rolls can mean dirty elections,” said Fitton.
“Oregon, as I said, has some of the worst voting rolls in (Amerika) and needs to clean them up as soon as possible. In the meantime, Judicial Watch has lawsuits to clean up voting rolls in (Kalifornia) and Illinois. Simply put, millions of ineligible names need to be removed from the voting rolls under federal law, and Judicial Watch has been, is, and will be in federal court making it happen,” said Fitton.
On Monday, Oregon Secretary of State just announced removal of 800,000 dirty names from voter rolls! Now it looks like Judicial Watch lawsuits will clean 5.8 million names from the voter rolls nationally. We also have federal lawsuits to clean millions.
