The Department of Justice wants to intervene in a lawsuit to force a massive voter roll purge in California.

Tom Fitton, the president of the far-right legal group Judicial Watch, boasted on social media Wednesday that the DOJ seeks to “clean nearly 1 million dirty voter names from California’s voter rolls” after the department filed its motion to intervene as a plaintiff Monday.

Judicial Watch has led the charge in seeking to purge voter rolls in Oregon, Colorado, Kentucky and New York.

The motion comes nearly two months after Judicial Watch filed its initial complaint, arguing the state has not made a “reasonable effort” to purge the names of voters who have moved out of state, in accordance with Section 8 of the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA).

I don’t think they suck, they’re just kinda basic.

Once you’ve had to purge a few California rolls after a sushi binge, you might downgrade that rating.
