Oregon settles lawsuit on voter roll maintenance, will share data

From Statesman Journal:

Oregon has agreed to provide conservative foundation Judicial Watch with data on the state’s voter rolls as part of terms to dismiss a 2024 lawsuit.

All of the data to be provided through the settlement is public record, Tess Seger, a spokesperson for the Secretary of State’s Office, said.

Judicial Watch, two individuals and the Constitution Party of Oregon sued the state and then-Secretary of State Lavonne Griffin-Valade in October 2024 over Oregon’s voter roll maintenance, alleging it was in violation of the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA) for not removing ineligible voters from its lists.

“This is another historic election integrity success. Judicial Watch’s lawsuit caused Oregon to finally cleanup 800,000 outdated voter names, adding to the more than six million ineligible voters removed by Judicial Watch lawsuits and legal action nationwide,” Tom Fitton, president of Judicial Watch, said in a statement. “Dirty voter rolls can mean dirty elections. Oregon’s Secretary of State, Tobias Read, is to be commended for responding to our lawsuit with a massive voter roll clean-up and commitment to continued voter list maintenance, which will only increase voter confidence.”
