DOJ attorneys wrote that the announced plan to remove noncitizens came 84 days before the election, which included both naturalized and native-born U.S. citizens.
That, they said, violated the “Quiet Period Provision” of the National Voter Registration Act, which requires states to complete systematic programs to remove names of ineligible voters from registration lists no later than 90 days before federal elections.
The move affected about 3,200 voters, and the plaintiffs in the earlier lawsuit include naturalized citizens who were wrongfully removed. The DOJ filing said that 717 affected voters had been restored to active status as of Sept. 19.
[Thus, the error rate was greater than 20% at a bare minimum.]
