Unite4Freedom (U4F), a national election integrity organization working on behalf of all Americans, together with aggrieved citizens, filed a Notice of Violations and Demand for Corrective Action concerning the fulfillment of legal requirements under the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA) in six states. The notices—filed in California, Colorado, Illinois, New York, Pennsylvania and Texas—are based on U4F’sanalysis of each state’s official election records totaling 10,782,283 apparent violations of federal election law under NVRA, demonstrating a consistent and continuing pattern of abuse.
Federal Requirements at Issue
Congress enacted NVRA to establish uniform national standards governing voter-registration administration, voter-list maintenance, and public inspection of records for them. Under federal law 52 USC § 20507(i), these records are supposed to be available for public inspection, and federal law has clarified that these records must be auditable, yet the states continue to obfuscate their records and hide the apparent non-compliance.
Section 20510(b) of NVRA authorizes an aggrieved person to provide written notice of violations to the chief state election official and affords the state an opportunity to investigate, correct, explain, or otherwise resolve those violations before civil litigation is initiated. A non-profit organization acting for the benefit of the American people, such as U4F, qualifies as a federally-defined aggrieved person. Under the law, the state has 20 days to investigate, prove the data is ok, or correct it.
If the errors are not corrected and procedures are not put in place to prevent a recurrence in 2026, U4F will seek to force the states to change their systems under the personal cause of action enshrined in NVRA. U4F will also continue supporting DOJ and the Administration’s efforts to clean up our broken election system nationwide.
Alleged Violations and Factual Basis of Notices
A. Failure to conduct a reasonable and uniform list-maintenance program [52 USC § 20507(a)(4)], as
evidenced by U4F’s 2024 Election Validity Scorecards identifying the following record conditions:
- duplicate or conflicting voter-registrations;
- unexplained changes in voter registration status;
- registrations containing internally inconsistent or illogical data;
- apparent irregular registration changes;
- registration conditions requiring documented explanation under established list-maintenance procedures; and other record level conditions.
The number of unique votes impacted in the 2024 General Election was:
- 5,588,594 in California
- 51,903 in Colorado
- 1,045,659 in Illinois
- 895,595 in New York
- 1,527,639 in Pennsylvania
- 1,672,893 in Texas
In total, there were 10,782,283 suspected voting violations across the six states.
B. Failure to maintain and make available records concerning list-maintenance programs [52 USC § 20507(i)] to determine:
- the basis for recorded changes;
- the authority under which those changes occurred;
- the implementation of voter-list maintenance procedures;
- the preservation of required records; and
- the completeness of the state’s public-inspection obligations under NVRA.
C. Failure to preserve and document record-level changes relevant to list-maintenance activities, as evidenced by U4F’s Vote Tampering Reports.
i. The analyses for California, Colorado, Illinois, New York and Pennsylvania identify numerous post certification changes to voter-history and voter-registration records occurring across successive, official, statewide, voter-file snapshots. These comparisons reveal the following number of total changes to participation history of 2024 certified election records without documentation to substantiate those revisions:
- 254,203 total changes across two comparisons in California
- 3,416 total changes across one comparison in Colorado
- 254,027 total changes to across one comparison in Illinois
- 682,515 total changes across five comparisons in New York
- 2,039,593 total changes across two comparisons in Pennsylvania
ii. In Texas’s 2024 election, the analysis summarized the existence of documented voter-record changes across successive official datasets during early voting:
- 2,735,883 total changes to voter participation records during early voting
Both U4F’s Election Validity Scorecards and Vote Tampering Reports expose the total number of potential violations of federal election law in each state. U4F has also provided the datasets containing all the alleged violations with each notice. U4F is not claiming that every documented concern establishes a violation of federal law, but rather that they require investigation, explanation, and documentation sufficient to determine whether the states have adhered to the requirements enacted by Congress.
Relief Requested
According to 52 USC § 20510(b), U4F and the additional complainants respectfully request that the states:
- Investigate each documented record-level condition identified in the U4F Reports.
- Produce, or make available for inspection, all records concerning the implementation of their state’s voter-list maintenance programs that are required to be maintained.
- Provide a written explanation describing the procedures, policies, and implementation practices responsible for the documented record-level conditions identified.
- Preserve all records relevant to the potential violations until the issues presented have been resolved.
- Provide a written response addressing each violation identified.
U4F is dedicated to a non-partisan restoration of lawful, accurate, and transparent elections.
Beyond the Six States
Unite4Freedom’s broader election analysis has examined official records in 35 states and identified similar discrepancies in voter-registration and voter-history data. U4F’s state Election Validity Scorecards show that in the 35 states studied, there is not one state where the certified election tally (ballots counted) matches the number of voters recorded as having voted in the election.
Our research has been used in multiple federal lawsuits, and we intend to continue publishing reports and pursuing legal and legislative remedies based on its findings.
Valid elections are guaranteed in the Constitution and are the foundation of our Republic. Citizens have a right to demand accuracy. If elections are not lawful or accurate, then who is ultimately selecting our representatives?
