News that the Kentucky of secretary of state has removed more names than it added to its voter rolls for the sixth month this year is a correction that’s a long time in coming, according to J. Christian Adams, president of the Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF), which has filed numerous lawsuits against state election officials over allegations of not maintaining voter rolls.
Recently enacted election reform legislation in Kentucky that increases the ability of local election officials to maintain clean voter rolls may have been undermined by federal election reform legislation, S.1, which failed to pass U.S. Senate.
