LA County reached a settlement in 2019 to clear voter rolls of inactive voters. But that doesn’t mean the election in the left-leaning county was unfair to Trump. He lost by a wide margin to Democratic candidates.
Judicial Watch and Los Angeles County reached a settlement to clean up voter rolls
The county removed about 1.2 million voters from the inactive voter list following the 2022 general election, which aligned with federal requirements and the inactivity through two federal election cycles , said Mike Sanchez, a Los Angeles County elections office spokesperson. Trump’s statement about"ineligible voters" could create the impression that they were ineligible to vote because they didn’t meet basic requirements, such as being 18, a U.S. citizen and a county resident. That’s different from an"inactive voter" who at one time was eligible, but became inactive.. California was an outlier on the high side with about 16% — around the same as West Virginia.
