In its Complaint, Judicial Watch, Inc. presents itself as a diligent monitor of
election officials’ compliance with their obligations to maintain voter registration
lists under the National Voter Registration Act (“NVRA”), 52 U.S.C. §§ 20501 et
seq. In this role, Judicial Watch alleges, it expressed concerns about the NVRA
list maintenance practices of election officials of Bucks, Chester, and Delaware
Counties; 1 gave those officials an opportunity to respond to those concerns; and
fairly considered those responses before filing this lawsuit. The documents that
Judicial Watch includes and relies upon in its Complaint, however, tell a different
story. They show that Judicial Watch purported to infer wrongdoing from data that
did not support that inference; sent the Defendants murky and confusing letters that
obscured the basis for Judicial Watch’s accusations; ignored the County
Defendants’ detailed responses, which included official documents establishing
that Judicial Watch’s allegations were incorrect; and declined to follow up with the
County Defendants, even when invited to do so. Instead, Judicial Watch charged
1

Clerk, Elections Bureau for Delaware County, are referred to herein as the “County
Defendants.”
into this Court, in the midst of a pandemic and on the eve of an extraordinarily
challenging primary election, with allegations that are disproven by the very
documents Judicial Watch relies upon.
In its haste to file a lawsuit, Judicial Watch has neglected to set forth a
plausible claim of an NVRA violation by any of the County Defendants or to
provide the County Defendants with the statutory notice that the NVRA requires.
Accordingly, pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6), the Court
should dismiss Judicial Watch’s claims against the County Defendants.
I. QUESTIONS PRESENTED
Should the Court dismiss Count I of the Complaint as to the County
Defendants because Judicial Watch’s claims of NVRA violations are, in light of
the documents that Judicial Watch relies upon, completely implausible? Suggested
Answer: Yes.
Should the Court dismiss Count II of the Complaint as to Chester and
Delaware County because Judicial Watch did not give the notice required by the
NVRA? Suggested Answer: Yes.

II. JUDICIAL WATCH’S COMPLAINT 2

Judicial Watch alleges that on December 11, 2019, it sent letters to Bucks,
Chester, and Delaware Counties and the Secretary of the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania, alleging that each of the three counties had failed to comply with
NVRA list maintenance requirements. See Complaint ¶ 59 & Exs. 1-3. According
to these letters, Judicial Watch had concluded that each county had violated the
requirement that it “conduct a general program that makes a reasonable effort to
remove the names of ineligible voters” when that ineligibility arises from death or
a change of address. 52 U.S.C. § 20507(a)(4). First, the letters stated, the
Commonwealth had reported numbers in response to “survey question A9e” of its
biennial report to the U.S. Election Assistance Commission (“EAC”) that, “if
accurate,” would indicate a low number of a certain type of removal from each
county’s registration lists. Second, the letters continued, the counties had “high
registration rates.” See Complaint Exs. 1-3 at 2.
Judicial Watch’s letters contained little explanation of these allegations.
Judicial Watch did not provide a copy of the “survey question A9e” data or the
2
On a Motion to Dismiss, this Court must “accept all factual allegations as
true, construe the complaint in the light most favorable to the plaintiff, and
determine whether, under any reasonable reading of the complaint, the plaintiff
may be entitled to relief.” Public Interest Legal Foundation v. Boockvar, 370
F.Supp.3d 449, 453-54 (M.D. Pa. 2019) (J. Conner) (internal quotation and
citations omitted).
-3-
numbers it had compared to conclude that the counties had “high registration
rates”; links in the letters’ footnotes went to deleted or inactive websites. See
Complaint Exs. 1-3 at 2 n.4-5, Ex. 4 at 3 (“The websites cited in footnotes 4 and 5
of your letter are inactive, non-exist[e]nt, or simply are not what you describe them
to be ….”). Nonetheless, Judicial Watch demanded that each county provide
extensive documents and other information, and asserted that if it did not receive
this information within two weeks, by December 25, 2019, it would deem that
failure to be an “independent violation” of the NVRA. Complaint Exs. 1-3 at 3.
The letters were met with puzzlement, followed by compelling evidence that
Judicial Watch was wrong:
• Chester County responded to Judicial Watch within a week, with

links to detailed Pennsylvania Department of State annual reports
(the “DOS Reports”). See Complaint Ex. 7 at 1. Appendix D to
these reports, which Chester County attached to its letter (but,
tellingly, Judicial Watch does not attach to its Complaint),
contained breakdowns of how many registrations each county had
removed for various reasons during 2017 and 2018. 3 Chester
County followed up with a point by point response to each of
Judicial Watch’s document requests, providing documents and

links. Complaint Ex. 8. Judicial Watch does not allege that it

responded to either of Chester County’s letters.
• The Commonwealth also sent links to the DOS Reports and told
Judicial Watch that its figures were wrong. Complaint Ex. 9.
Again, Judicial Watch does not allege that it responded.
• Bucks County responded with a four-page letter that also linked to

the DOS Reports and explained the County’s list maintenance
practices in detail. Complaint Ex. 4. Additionally, Bucks County
invited Judicial Watch to visit the Bucks County Board of
Elections to inspect and make copies of relevant records. Id. After
Judicial Watch responded with more questions, Bucks County sent
another letter, on March 20, 2020, explaining that because of the
COVID-19 pandemic and the upcoming election, the county would
not be able to respond for some time, but that it would attempt to
make documents available to Judicial Watch for inspection.
Complaint Ex. 6. This letter also noted that while access to the
Bucks County Board of Elections office was changing rapidly due
to COVID-19, to the extent possible in light of this situation
Judicial Watch would still be welcome to visit the office to inspect
records. Judicial Watch did not accept Bucks County’s invitations
to examine the documents.
As discussed infra § IV.A.1, the DOS Reports provided all the information
Judicial Watch purported to seek, and demonstrated that allegations of failure to
cull inactive registration lists were incorrect. Nonetheless, Judicial Watch filed its
Complaint.4
4
Judicial Watch’s haste came at a cost. The County Defendants understand
that the Commonwealth has recently determined that the “survey question A9e”
data, as well as responses to other categories, was, in fact, inaccurate, and has
corrected that data with the EAC. See Answer and Affirmative Defenses of
Defendants Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and Kathy Boockvar (Doc. 33), ¶¶
39-41, Ex. A. The Commonwealth now reports much higher numbers of removals
by each of the three counties. Id. If Judicial Watch had given a better explanation
of its position in the first place, or if it had waited until after the 2020 primary

III. PROCEDURAL HISTORY

Judicial Watch filed its Complaint on April 29, 2020, and all Defendants
waived service of a summons. On May 11, 2020 non-parties Common Cause
Pennsylvania and League of Women Voters of Pennsylvania filed a Motion to
Intervene as Defendants and for Leave to File Answer on the Same Schedule as
Defendants. Judicial Watch filed a Memorandum of Law in Opposition to the
Motion to Intervene on May 26, 2020 and the County Defendants filed a
Memorandum of Law in Support of the Motion to Intervene on June 9, 2020.
Common Cause Pennsylvania and League of Women Voters of Pennsylvania filed
a Reply Brief in Support of their Motion to Intervene on June 9, 2020, and Judicial
Watch filed a Memorandum of Law in Further Opposition to the Motion to
Intervene on June 22, 2020. The Motion to Intervene has not yet been ruled on.
IV. ARGUMENT
A. The Court Should Dismiss Count I Because the Documents and
Figures Judicial Watch Relies Upon Make Its Accusations of
Wrongdoing Utterly Implausible
The Complaint in this case does not point to a single erroneous registration
on the rolls of any County Defendant.5 Instead, Judicial Watch relies entirely on
election to proceed, it could have reduced or avoided the distraction and expense of
this lawsuit.
5
NVRA lawsuits, including those brought by Judicial Watch, frequently
include such allegations. See, e.g., Ex. 1 to Declaration of Robert D. Popper, ECF
No. 15, at 12 (Complaint in Judicial Watch, Inc., v. North Carolina, No. 3:20-cv-
-6-
the “survey question A9e” data—three spreadsheet cells that, in the context of their
source and of the other documents cited in the Complaint, do not plausibly support
Judicial Watch’s claims—and “registration rates” that appear to have been created
from thin air. Because these straws are far too weak to sustain the claims asserted
against the County Defendants in Count I, the Court should dismiss them pursuant
to Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6).
1. Three Ambiguous Cells of the EAC Spreadsheet Cannot

Plausibly Support Judicial Watch’s Claims
The contents of three spreadsheet cells form the heart of Judicial Watch’s
allegations. These cells appear in a massive spreadsheet of data released in
connection with the 2018 version of the biennial report to Congress of the Election
Assistance Commission (the “EAC Spreadsheet”). Judicial Watch tells the Court
where to find the spreadsheet online, but makes no attempt to attach the
211 (W.D.N.C.) (alleging inactive registrations remaining on rolls for more than
three general elections)); Public Interest Legal Foundation, Inc. v. Winfrey, No.
19-13638, 2020 WL 2781826, *1 (E.D. Mich. May, 28, 2020) (“The plaintiff
alleges…isolated discrepancies in some registrations identified by the plaintiff’s
own audit of voting records…purportedly duplicative registrations of two or three
persons identified by the plaintiff as having the same names…[and] that [the
plaintiff] sent the City a report identifying 2,503 registrations of persons whose
names the plaintiff had matched with Social Security Administration and other
records indicating that persons with those names were deceased.”); Bellitto v.
Snipes, 221 F.Supp.3d 1354, 1365 (“Plaintiff alleges that…Defendant has received
information regarding over 200 registered voters who have either died or who no
longer reside in the community.”).
-7-
spreadsheet or even to set forth its relevant data. Instead, it recites the contents of
three cells and declares that those cells, alone, constitute an “admission” by the
County Defendants that they have violated the NVRA. See Complaint ¶¶ 35-41 &
Heading B.
The EAC Spreadsheet itself,6 however, tells a different story. The
Pennsylvania section of the EAC Spreadsheet sets forth county-by-county statistics
on a host of election-related issues, including registration and list maintenance. As
Judicial Watch admits, the County Defendants did not provide this data to the
EAC; it came from the Commonwealth. See Complaint ¶¶ 39-41; 11 C.F.R. §
9428.7 (requiring only the “chief state election official” to provide information to
EAC).
In Exhibit 3 to this Motion, the County Defendants have set forth the EAC
Spreadsheet data relevant to this action, along with the corresponding survey
6
As Judicial Watch alleges, Complaint ¶ 35, the EAC Spreadsheet is
available at https://www.eac.gov/research-and-data/datasets-codebooks-and-
surveys, by clicking on “EAVS Datasets Version 1.2 (released February 18,
2020).” The Court may consider data included in the EAC Spreadsheet that is not
specifically alleged in the Complaint, because the EAC Spreadsheet is a document
that is “integral to” and “explicitly relied upon in the complaint.” In re Burlington
Coat Factory Securities Litigation, 114 F.3d 1410, 1426 (3d Cir. 1997) (internal
modifications omitted). See also, Public Interest Legal Foundation, 370 F.Supp.3d
at 454 (“In addition to reviewing the facts contained in the complaint, the court
may also consider matters of public record, orders, exhibits attached to the
complaint and items appearing in the record of the case.”).
-8-
questions.7 This data includes responses to the following questions from the
EAC’s survey:
• Survey Question A1: Registration numbers, broken down by active

and inactive voters. These responses show that as of the
November 2018 general election, each of the County Defendants
had tens of thousands of “inactive” registrations; together, the three
counties had placed more than 100,000 registrations into inactive
status.
• Survey Question A8: Numbers of notifications sent to voters

because “there is an indication” that the registrant has moved, or
because the voter has not recently voted. These responses show
that between the close of the voter registration periods in 2016 and
2018, the County Defendants sent out tens of thousands of notices.
• Survey Question A9: Numbers of voters removed from registration

rolls. These numbers indicate thousands of removals from the
rolls of each County Defendant (13,960 for Bucks, 9,516 for
Chester, and 12,376 for Delaware) during the relevant period.
Survey Question A9 is broken into a number of subparts: “Moved outside
jurisdiction,” “Death,” “Disqualifying felony conviction,” “Failure to respond to
notice sent and failure to vote in two most recent federal elections,” “Declared
mentally incompetent,” “Voter request to be removed for reasons other than those
listed above,” and “Other.” The survey does not explain how responding states are
to allocate their data among these categories. The Code of Federal Regulations
7
As Judicial Watch alleges, Complaint ¶ 35, the survey questions may be
found at https://www.eac.gov/research-and-data/datasets-codebooks-and-surveys,
by clicking on “2018 Election Administration and Voting Survey Instrument.”
Except where otherwise indicated, the survey responses cover the two-year period
from October 2016 to October 2018.
-9-
also provides no guidance on this point; it requires states to report only “[t]he total
number of registrations statewide that were, for whatever reason, deleted from the
registration list …” 11 C.F.R. § 9428.7(b)(5) (emphasis supplied). According to
the EAC Spreadsheet entries for Bucks, Chester and Delaware Counties, the
Commonwealth reported thousands of removals in response to each of the “moved
outside jurisdiction” and “death” subparts (questions A9b and A9c), hundreds of
removals in the “other voter request” subpart for Bucks County (question A9g),
several hundred removals in an unspecified “other” subpart (question A9h), and
only a handful of removals in the “Failure to respond to notice sent and failure to
vote in two most recent federal elections” subpart (question A9e).
According to Judicial Watch, this last category, the responses to Question
A9e on the EAC Spreadsheet, constitutes an admission that the County Defendants
are “not complying with Section 8(d)(2) of the NVRA.” Complaint ¶ 37. This is
not a plausible assertion. For a number of reasons, these three numbers cannot do
the work that Judicial Watch asks them to do, and cannot sustain Count I.
First, the EAC Spreadsheet shows that the County Defendants have engaged
in extensive list maintenance activity, sending tens of thousands of notices and
removing thousands of voters from the registration rolls during the relative time
period. In light of all this activity, the three numbers Judicial Watch identifies
- 10 -
cannot plausibly show that the County Defendants have ignored their responsibility
to make reasonable efforts to comply with the NVRA.
Second, nothing in the EAC Spreadsheet, the EAC’s survey, or the Code of
Federal Regulations mandates that removals of registrations that were subject to
the procedures of Section 8(d)(2) be reported in the “failure to respond” column,
rather than one of the other categories. This makes sense, because the NVRA does
not require states to utilize Section 8(d)(2) as a removal method at all. “[T]he
NVRA both protects registered voters from improper removal from the rolls and
places limited requirements on states to remove ineligible voters from the rolls.”
American Civil Rights Union v. Philadelphia City Commissioners, 872 F.3d 175,
179 (3d Cir. 2017). The statute requires only that states make a “reasonable effort”
to remove voters from the rolls who fall into two categories of ineligibility – voters
who have died and voters who have moved outside of the jurisdiction. 52 U.S.C. §
20507(a)(4). Subsections (b), (c), and (d) provide a few guiding mandates for how
states may go about these efforts, such as requiring that voter removal programs be
“uniform, nondiscriminatory, and in compliance with the Voting Rights Act,” 52
U.S.C. § 20507(b), and set forth some examples of appropriate programming, 52
U.S.C. § 20507(c) and (d). The procedure in Section 8(d)(2) may be used in
pursuit of a state’s “reasonable efforts” to remove voters who have moved or died,
but its use is not required. Therefore, it is not reasonable to assume, as Judicial
- 11 -
Watch does in its Complaint, that a state or county will use Section 8(d)(2)
procedures at all, that it will report the results of those procedures in a particular
column, or that low numbers in a particular column of the EAC Spreadsheet mean
that the state is not in compliance with the NVRA.
Third, the Complaint explicitly refers to and discusses the DOS Reports,
which confirm that all three County Defendants engaged in robust voter protection
efforts, including thousands of removals of inactive registrations. 8 See Complaint
¶¶ 63-65, 70-71, 81 & Exhibits 4 at 1, 5 at 2, 7 at 1, & 9 at 1-2 (discussing the DOS
Reports for calendar years 2017 and 2018); see Exs. 1, 2 (2017 and 2018 DOS
Reports). Unlike the EAC Spreadsheet, the DOS Reports are designed to reflect
list maintenance activities that Pennsylvania carries out, rather than to
accommodate the various types of list maintenance activities conducted
nationwide. The Reports show that in calendar year 2017, Bucks, Chester, and
Delaware Counties cancelled 15,827, 11,647, and 21,134 inactive registrations,
respectively, on the basis that the voters “did not respond to mailing after two
federal elections elapsed.” See Ex. 2 at 7, 35. In calendar year 2018, these
8
Because the Complaint purports to rely on information from these Reports
(albeit incorrectly, as discussed below), the Court may consider them in connection
with this Motion to Dismiss. See In re Burlington Coat Factory Securities
Litigation, 114 F.3d at 1426; see also Public Interest Legal Foundation, 370
F.Supp.3d at 454.
- 12 -
numbers were 3,878, 499, and 433 registrations, respectively. 9 See Ex. 3 at 8,
37.10
Thus, the very documents that Judicial Watch relies upon demonstrate that
its allegations regarding the three EAC Spreadsheet cells make no sense.
Whatever these three numbers mean, they cannot be read to indicate that the
County Defendants have not made reasonable efforts to cull their registration
lists.11 “‘To survive a motion to dismiss, a complaint must contain sufficient
9
Because federal elections, which take place in even numbered years,
trigger these cancellations, the bulk of cancellation activity in this category occurs
in odd numbered years. The recently released DOS Report for 2019, for example,
shows that Bucks, Chester and Delaware Counties cancelled 10,167, 11,818, and
10,727 registrations, respectively, on this basis. See
https://www.dos.pa.gov/VotingElections/OtherServicesEvents/VotingElectionStati
stics/Documents/Annual%20Reports%20on%20Voter%20Registration/2019%20A
NNUAL%20REPORT.pdf at 8, 34.
10
Judicial Watch tries to call the Reports into question by stating that they
give a single number for all removals from inactive voter lists, without explaining
the reasons for these removals. See Complaint ¶¶ 63, 70, 81. This is simply not
true. The Reports divide removals of inactive registrations into eight categories,
and include a key explaining what each category means. See Ex. 2 at 7, 35; Ex. 3
at 8, 37.
11
Because the County Defendants were not involved in the
Commonwealth’s report to the EAC, they cannot explain where these numbers
came from or what they were intended to represent. However, the County
Defendants understand that the Commonwealth has recently determined that these
numbers, and other figures in the EAC Spreadsheet, are inaccurate, and that the
Commonwealth has submitted revised figures to the EAC that show a much higher
number of cancellations, as discussed supra 5 n.4. Specifically, the
Commonwealth now reports in response to “survey question A9e” that Bucks,
Chester, and Delaware Counties removed 15,714, 11,519, and 20,968 registrations,

factual matter, accepted as true, to state a claim to relief that is plausible on its
face.’ ‘A claim has facial plausibility when the plaintiff pleads factual content that
allows the court to draw the reasonable inference that the defendant is liable for the
misconduct alleged.’” Davis v. Abington Memorial Hosp., 765 F.3d 236, 240-41
(3d Cir. 2014) (quoting Ashcroft v. Iqbal, 556 U.S. 662, 678 (2009)). Here, no
such “reasonable inference” can be drawn from these three numbers. See, e.g.
Burtch v. Milberg Factors, Inc., 662 F.3d 212, 225-30 (3d Cir. 2011); Davis, 765
F.3d at 241-43. “Determining whether a plausible claim has been pled is ‘a
context-specific task that requires the reviewing court to draw on its judicial
experience and common sense.’” Davis, 765 F.3d at 242 (quoting Iqbal, 556 U.S.
at 679). In light of the full context provided by the EAC Spreadsheet, the three
cells Judicial Watch zooms in on do not provide a plausible factual basis for the
claims in Count I consistent with “common sense.”

recent federal elections” during the relevant time period. Answer of
Commonwealth and Boockvar, ¶¶ 39-41, Ex. A.

2. Because Judicial Watch’s “Census Data” Appears to be

Conjured From Thin Air, It Also Does Not Plausibly
Support Count I of the Complaint
The only other factual basis that Judicial Watch offers in support of Count
I 12 is that it has conducted an “analysis,” using the “best available census data,”
that shows that Bucks, Chester, and Delaware Counties have registration rates of
“about 96%,” “about 97%,” and “about 97%,” respectively. Complaint ¶¶ 51-58.
Judicial Watch declines, however, to tell the Court or the Defendants what this
“best available census data” is or where it may be found.13 Accordingly, the
County Defendants and this Court have no way to assess whether the data Judicial
Watch “analyzed” is up to date, geographically sound, or reliable. Judicial Watch
also does not explain whether its percentages are based on active registrations, or
whether it has also included the County Defendants’ more than 100,000 inactive
registrations. Before the Court could conclude that these percentages are at all
significant, Judicial Watch would have to show, for example, whether its
12
Judicial Watch also alleges that another county, Allegheny, was
“delinquent” in removing inactive registrations. Complaint ¶¶ 47-49. Whether or
not this is true, Allegheny County is not a Defendant here, and its list maintenance
practices are irrelevant.
13
The Complaint itself contains no description of this “best available census
data.” In the notice letters attached to the Complaint, Judicial Watch directed the
County Defendants to a dead link. See Complaint Ex. 1-3 n.4. Even after Bucks
County complained that the link did not work, Judicial Watch did not provide, or
even give a general description of, this “best available” data. Complaint Ex. 4 at 3,
Ex. 5.
- 15 -
calculations have accounted for the County Defendants’ recent population growth
or whether they include the tens of thousands of inactive voters who cannot be
removed from the registration rolls until two federal elections have taken place.
Without this information—or any other explanation—Judicial Watch’s purported
“registration rates,” considered in the context of the rest of the Complaint and the
EAC Spreadsheet data, are an insufficient factual basis to support Count I, even
viewing these allegations in the light most favorable to Judicial Watch.
B. Count II’s Claims Against Chester and Delaware Counties Must

Be Dismissed Because Judicial Watch Failed to Comply With the
NVRA’s Pre-Suit Notice Requirement
In Judicial Watch’s December 11, 2019 letters to Chester and Delaware
Counties, it requested records falling into eight categories, including several multi-
part categories, pursuant to 52 U.S.C. § 20507(i). Complaint, ¶¶ 59-62, 101-105,
Exs. 2-3. Chester County responded by letter two separate times, challenging
Judicial Watch’s assertions that it was in violation of subsection 20507(a)(4) and
providing several types of records in response to Judicial Watch’s specific
requests. Complaint, Exs. 7 and 8.14 During the four-plus months before Judicial
Watch filed suit, the County Defendants’ time, attention, and resources were taxed
14
Exhibits 7 and 8 to the Complaint are not properly labeled with cover
sheets but are filed as separate attachments to the Complaint, immediately
following Exhibit 6.
- 16 -
to their limits as they worked overtime to meet the urgent and extraordinary
demands of the unprecedented public health crisis caused by COVID-19, and
simultaneously prepared to hold a primary election. And yet Judicial Watch does
not allege that it ever responded to Chester County’s correspondence to explain
how it fell short, or that it ever contacted either County again during this time
period. Judicial Watch’s failure to notify Chester and Delaware Counties that they
were purportedly in violation of subsection 20507(i) for not providing the records
requested in the December 11 letters, and that Judicial Watch intended to
commence litigation if the Counties did not correct this purported violation within
90 days, is fatal to these claims. 52 U.S.C. § 205010(b).
The NVRA requires that “written notice” of a purported violation be
provided “to the chief election official of the State involved,” and authorizes the
commencement of litigation “[i]f the violation is not corrected within 90 days” of
such notice. 15 52 U.S.C. § 20510(b)(1), (2). As this Court has explained, “[n]otice
is a precondition to filing suit under the NVRA.” Public Interest Legal
Foundation, 370 F.Supp.3d at 456-57 (dismissing subsection 20507(i) claim for
failure to provide notice of purported violation to Pennsylvania chief election
15
The application and length of the curative period depends on how many
days prior to a federal election a purported NVRA violation occurs, 52 U.S.C.A. §
20510(b)(2)-(3); given the timing of the records requests and Judicial Watch’s
initiation of this litigation, the relevant curative period here is 90 days.
- 17 -
official prior to filing suit). See also, Bellitto v. Snipes, 268 F.Supp.3d 1328, 1333-
35 (S.D. Fla. 2017) (dismissing subsection 20507(i) claim because plaintiff only
sent defendant a single correspondence requesting documents under the NVRA
and never notified defendant of purported NVRA violation after the request went
unfulfilled); Georgia State Conference of NAACP v. Kemp, 841 F.Supp.2d 1320,
1335 (N.D. Ga. 2012) (dismissing plaintiff from NVRA suit because he failed to
comply with notice requirement). Notice is sufficient under Section 20510 “when
it (1) sets forth the reasons that a defendant purportedly failed to comply with the
NVRA, and (2) clearly communicates that a person is asserting a violation of the
NVRA and intends to commence litigation if the violation is not timely addressed.”
Public Interest Legal Foundation, 370 F.Supp.3d at 456-57.
A violation of subsection 20507(i) occurs when a proper records request is
not complied with. As such, notice setting forth the reasons that a defendant
purportedly failed to comply with subsection 20507(i) cannot be provided along
with the records request, as that would predate the purported failure. Rather,
notice can only be provided after the request has been refused or ignored. This is
the case even if proper notice of a different purported NVRA violation is given in
the same correspondence: “to allow a purported NVRA notice letter to serve such a
dual purpose—that is, make an initial request for records and at the same time
notify the records keeper of his or her failure to satisfy that request—simply
- 18 -
because it provides sufficient notice of a separate NVRA violation would…defy
logic and frustrate the purpose of the NVRA’s notice provision (to provide an
opportunity to attempt compliance before litigation).” Bellitto, 268 F.Supp.3d at
1335. 16
Here, the December 11, 2019 letters are clearly insufficient under the NVRA
notice requirement, and this failing is fatal to Judicial Watch’s subsection 20507(i)
claims against Chester and Delaware Counties. Had Judicial Watch complied with
the notice requirement, it might have avoided a drain on the Counties’ and the
Court’s time and resources, in furtherance of the very purpose of the notice
requirement: to allow a state the opportunity to cure a deficiency with its NVRA
compliance before it is brought into resource-consuming litigation. In this case,
Judicial Watch’s failure to comply with the notice requirement is particularly
egregious, because of the burden it places on counties that are carrying out election
duties in the face of the extraordinary demands of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Judicial Watch’s disregard of the NVRA notice requirement for its subsection
16
The court in Bellitto treated non-compliance with the NVRA pre-suit
notice requirement as a jurisdictional bar. Most courts, however, consider it a
matter of “statutory standing” relevant to whether a plaintiff has properly stated a
claim under the NVRA. See, e.g., National Council of La Raza v. Cegavske, 800
F.3d 1032, 1042-45 (9th Cir. 2015); Scott v. Schedler, 771 F.3d 831, 836 (5th Cir.
2014).
- 19 -
20507(i) claims does not just doom Count II of its Complaint; it has harmed
Pennsylvania citizens.
V. CONCLUSION
For the foregoing reasons, the County Defendants respectfully ask the Court
to dismiss all claims asserted against them in the Complaint pursuant to Fed. R.
Civ. P. 12(b)(6).
Respectfully submitted,

The Administration of Voter Registration in Pennsylvania - 2017 Report to the General Assembly
In 2017 the Department of State (Department) worked closely with the public, each of the 67 county
voter registration offices, Commonwealth agencies designated with voter registration responsibilities,
and voter registration advocacy groups. This report represents a summary of statistics and initiatives
that support voter registration administration in Pennsylvania. The most significant initiative during
2017 was the expansion of the web-based service for third party registration organizations to
Commonwealth agencies who may now submit voter registrations via the online voter registration
system.
All 2017 data referenced in this report is available in its entirety within the “Annual Report Data” section
starting on page 17 of this report. Data from previous years can be found in the respective annual
reports, which are available online at www.dos.pa.gov.
Voter Registration Statistics

Through the Statewide Uniform Registry of Electors (SURE) system, the Department maintains a
complete list of all registered voters in the Commonwealth. As of December 2017, there were 8,435,015
registered voters. This was a decrease of 211,223 (-2.44%) since December 2016, and an increase of
217,810 (2.65%) since December 2013.

List Maintenance Activities

In 2017, counties performed regular list maintenance activities within the SURE system, which include
the removal of deceased voters and voters who have confirmed that they moved outside of the county
in which they were registered. Counties send five-year notices to registrants who have not voted in at
least two federal general elections and address verification notices to voters identified by the United
States Postal Service as having submitted a change of address to the Postal Service. During 2017,
counties sent 184,205 five-year notices and 132,764 address verification notices.
Also, as part of the list maintenance process, county elections officials mail notices to voters who may
have moved using information by the United State Postal Service (USPS) through its National Change of
Address (NCOA) program. The notices provide an opportunity for the voter to confirm their address or
to send an update to county officials. In 2017, 179,624 notices were mailed to voters to confirm or
update their address.
Additionally, 480,987 voters who moved were identified by PennDOT when they changed their address
with PennDOT. PennDOT sends these address changes to the Department which forwards them to the
counties to update their records. As a result of these combined list maintenance activities 667,352 voter
registrations were marked “inactive” and 479,245 were cancelled in 2017. A voter is only cancelled after
receiving a notice requesting the voter to confirm his or her address, has been placed in inactive status
and the voter does not vote or otherwise contact the county for two federal general elections after
receiving notice.

Voter Registration Cancellations

During 2017, the Department recorded 479,245 voter registration cancellations. When a voter
registration is cancelled, the record is tagged in the SURE system to identify the reason for cancellation.
The SURE system allows counties to track the reason for cancellation based on 14 different
classifications as set forth in the chart below.
A voter is marked as inactive if he or she is sent a mailing by the county asking the voter to confirm his
or her continued residence, and fails to respond. Voters may be sent the mailings based on data the
county receives under the (NCOA) program or when a voter fails to vote for five years. See 25 Pa. C.S. §§
1901(b)(1), 1901(b)(3), 1901(c). All other voters are listed as “active.”
* Prior to the 2014 Annual Report, PennDOT application source codes were included in a generic “Other Means”
category.

National Voter Registration Act (NVRA)
Total Agency Registrations

The National Voter Registration Act (NVRA) requires that “(1) Each state shall designate agencies for the
registration of voters in election for Federal offices. (2) Each state shall designate as voter registration
agencies – (A) all offices of the state that provide public assistance; and (B) all offices in the State that
provide State-funded programs primarily engaged in providing service to persons with disabilities.” 1
Pennsylvania, through its voter registration law, has incorporated these requirements for all elections. 2
In light of these mandates, the Department continues to work with the covered agencies to ensure that
the requirements of federal and state law are met. Since 2010 the Department has used bar-coded
registration forms that allow the Department to identify the source agency of registrations and more
1

2
See 25 Pa.C.S. § 1325.

accurately track the Department’s efforts, and subsequently ensure that agency efforts comply with the
requirements of the NVRA and the Pennsylvania voter registration law.
In 2017, the most notable achievement was the adoption of Web API voter registration services for
Commonwealth agencies that offer public assistance. On December 2, 2017, the Pennsylvania
Department of Human Services (DHS) became the first Commonwealth agency to publicly deploy an
online voter registration service with the Department. The agency was able to submit more than 628
applications online before the end of the year.

Pennsylvania Department of Transportation

Since 1995, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) has played an integral role in the
voter registration process. This is also known as the “Motor Voter” registration process. In 2003, the
process became electronic. The Motor Voter process provides Commonwealth citizens with an
opportunity to apply to register to vote while receiving or renewing their driver’s license or photo ID at a
PennDOT center as well as the opportunity to update their registration in-person and online. The voter
registration applications can be grouped into two main groups: 1) Initial applications (otherwise known
as new applications); 2) Change of Address applications (otherwise known as change applications).
Application Process to Register to Vote at a PennDOT Center

 PennDOT customers visit a photo license center with a driver’s license application card
provided by PennDOT. The application card contains a printed two-dimensional bar code.
The bar code is scanned and the computer system determines the customer’s age. It then
determines which customers will be at least 18 years old by the date of the next election
and asks if the customer wishes to apply to register to vote;
 The program is designed to ask customers if they are currently registered to vote. If not,
they are provided the opportunity to apply to register;
 Customers must confirm that they are U.S. citizens and qualified to register in the
Commonwealth;
 Customers who choose to apply to register to vote are asked to confirm their county of
residence and indicate a party preference. The customer is asked for optional information
(telephone number and race);
 Customers are advised of the penalty for furnishing false information and are asked to sign a
declaration that the information they have provided is true and correct to the best of their
knowledge;
 Customers are provided a receipt indicating pertinent information about their voter
registration application, including the date on which they applied at the photo license
center. The receipt instructs customers to contact their county voter registration office if
they do not receive a voter identification card within two weeks.
The completed applications are transmitted electronically by PennDOT’s contracted vendor to the
Department, which in turn forwards the applications to each county voter registration office via the
SURE system. In 2017, 253,985 initial applications and 713,403 change of address applications were
sent to county election officials.
PennDOT provides address change information to the Department. The Department forwards the
information to the appropriate county voter registration office. In 2017, a total of 967,388 change of
address applications were forwarded from the Department to county election officials.
12
Online Voter Registration

The Pennsylvania Online Voter Registration (OVR) Application was deployed on August 27, 2015. The
OVR application provides residents of Pennsylvania with the opportunity to register to vote or change an
existing voter registration online and electronically submit voter registration data to their county voter
registration office for processing. The Department actively engaged election stakeholders outside of the
Department, such as county election directors, the elections advocacy community, and Pennsylvania
citizens. In an effort to ensure that the final product would be universally useable, DOS engaged the
Center for Civic Design to review the text and the logical flow of information. The Center also field
tested the application in an urban and a rural community. This highly interactive development process
results in a better product overall and one that has been embraced by Pennsylvania voters in

Voter Hall of Fame

The Pennsylvania Voter Hall of Fame program is administered by the Department of State, Division of
Elections and Voter Registration. The program was established to promote awareness and encourage all
Pennsylvanians to exercise their right to vote. The Voter Hall of Fame publicly honors Pennsylvanians
who have voted in at least 50 consecutive November elections. The inductees serve as ambassadors in
their communities – they lead by example, encouraging participation in the electoral process.
In 2017, the Department inducted 122 citizens from 9 counties into the Pennsylvania Voter Hall of Fame.
The 122 new members bring total membership to 22,554, with the membership spanning 67 counties
throughout the Commonwealth. As an ongoing recognition, the Department maintains a display on the
third floor of the North Office Building in Harrisburg.

Statewide Uniform Registry of Electors (SURE)
SURE is the centralized voter registration and election management system designed to ensure the
accuracy and integrity of the Commonwealth's voter registration records maintained by the election
authorities in Pennsylvania's 67 counties. The SURE system is a platform that supports the critical
functions of the Commonwealth’s elections — from determining voter eligibility to maintaining precinct
data to producing poll books. A centralized, uniform registry that is accessible to all county offices
greatly enhances the overall accuracy and integrity of the voter registration rolls and the resulting
quality of voter services.
SURE Applications
SURE Voter Registration (SURE VR)

The SURE VR application is a used by counties to process and maintain voter registration records and to
perform a number of election-related tasks, including the management of vote history, absentee ballots,
poll books, election related reports, and voter registration correspondence to voters.
SURE Portals
Public Portal
Voters can access the SURE Public Portal through the Department of State website where the
department offers them the ability to register to vote online, check their voter registration status, locate
their polling place, and retrieve electronic balloting materials for UMOVA qualified voters.
County Portal
The SURE County Portal provides counties with voter search, provisional ballot processing/certification,
and other basic capabilities through a standard web browser rather than the specialized equipment
required to access SURE VR. Counties can use the portal for seasonal and temporary staff who may need
to access basic SURE functionality around an election day or other busy period of time. Additionally,
counties use the portal to upload election results, certify election results, and certify voter registration
statistics.
Agency Portal
The agency portal is used by Department of State personnel to manage elections and campaign finance
data. The Department uses the portal to maintain and retrieve the archive of historic election results by
the precinct and county, manage nomination petitions, and manage campaign finance records.
Kiosk
The kiosk is a public portal which is accessed through terminals located in county election offices and at
the Department of State. These portals allow the public to electronically submit voter registration
applications, submit changes to their current registration, and search public state-wide voter
registration rolls.
Web Application Programming Interface (Web API)

A Web Application Programming Interface (Web API) was developed for individuals and organizations
such as Rock the Vote who wish to develop a website designed to gather voter registration application
15
data during voter registration drives. The Web API application contains the information these
organizations need in order to submit voter registration applications in an electronic format versus
submitting paper applications. This tool also interacts with PennDOT to capture signatures for valid
driver’s licenses and sends the Pending Missing Signature correspondence as necessary. A rigorous
certification process managed by the Department of State ensures the individuals or organizations
wishing to use the Web API tool meet DOS identified testing standards prior to their Web API account
being approved.

EXHIBIT 2
June 28, 2019
Dear Members of the General Assembly:
As the Acting Secretary of the Commonwealth, I am pleased to report to you on the

administration of voter registration in Pennsylvania for calendar year 2018. I trust you
will find this report useful.
Voter registration in Pennsylvania is a joint state-county effort. During 2018, the

Department of State (Department) continued its partnership with the state’s 67 county
election boards and voter registration commissions. The Department collaborates with
the commonwealth agencies designated under the National Voter Registration Act of
1993 (NVRA) to administer voter registration programs. The Department supports the
agencies by providing needed supplies and conducting training sessions and
informational meetings.
The Statewide Uniform Registry of Electors (SURE) system, implemented in

Pennsylvania through Act 3 of 2002, is the bedrock of Pennsylvania’s voter registration
system. As of December 31, 2018, there were approximately 8.5 million registered
voters in Pennsylvania.
The Department remains committed to fulfilling its responsibilities under the Help
America Vote Act of 2002. The Department will strive to promote voter registration and
civic engagement through its outreach efforts across the Commonwealth.
If you have questions about this report, please contact the Bureau of Election Services
and Notaries at (717) 787-5280.
Sincerely,
Kathy Boockvar
Acting Secretary of the Commonwealth

In 2018 the Department of State (Department) worked closely with the public, each of the 67 county voter registration
offices, Commonwealth agencies designated with voter registration responsibilities, and voter registration advocacy
groups. This report represents a summary of statistics and initiatives that support voter registration administration in
Pennsylvania. The most significant initiative during 2018 was the expansion of the web-based service for third party
registration organizations to Commonwealth agencies who may now submit voter registrations via the online voter
registration system.
All 2018 data referenced in this report are available in their entirety within the “Annual Report Data” section starting on
page 19 of this report. Data from previous years can be found in the respective annual reports, which are available
online at www.dos.pa.gov.
Voter Registration Statistics

Through the Statewide Uniform Registry of Electors (SURE) system, the Department maintains a complete list of all
registered voters in the Commonwealth. As of December 2018, there were 8,549,048 registered voters. This was an
increase of 114,033 (1.35%) since December 2017, and an increase of 392,305 (4.59%) since December 2014.

List Maintenance Activities

In 2018, counties performed regular list maintenance activities within the SURE system, which include the removal of
deceased voters and voters who have confirmed that they moved outside of the county in which they were registered.
Counties send five-year notices to registrants who have not voted in at least two federal general elections, as well as
send address verification notices to voters identified by the United States Postal Service (USPS) as having submitted a
change of address to the Postal Service. During 2018, counties sent 254,630 five-year notices and 142,475 address
verification notices.
Also, as part of the list maintenance process, county elections officials mail notices to voters who may have moved using
information by the USPS through its National Change of Address (NCOA) program. The notices provide an opportunity
for the voter to confirm their address or to send an update to county officials. In 2018, 198,761 notices were mailed to
voters to confirm or update their address.
Additionally, 453,829 registered voters who moved were identified by PennDOT when they changed their address with
PennDOT. PennDOT sends these address changes to the Department which forwards them to the counties to update
their records. As a result of these combined list maintenance activities 761,288 voter registrations were marked
“inactive” and 380,154 were cancelled in 2018. A voter is only cancelled after receiving a notice requesting the voter to
confirm his or her address, has been placed in inactive status and the voter does not vote or otherwise contact the
county for two federal general elections after receiving notice.

Voter Registration Cancellations

During 2018, the Department recorded 380,154 voter registration cancellations. When a voter registration is cancelled,
the record is tagged in the SURE system to identify the reason for cancellation. The SURE system allows counties to track
the reason for cancellation based on 14 different classifications as set forth in the chart below.
A voter is marked as inactive if he or she does not respond to a county mailing asking the voter to confirm his or her
residence. Voters may be sent the mailings based on data the county receives under the (NCOA) program or when a
voter fails to vote for five years. See 25 Pa. C.S. §§ 1901(b)(1), 1901(b)(3), 1901(c). All other voters are listed as “active.”
* Prior to the 2014 Annual Report, PennDOT application source codes were included in a generic “Other Means” category.

On December 2, 2017, the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services (DHS) became the first Commonwealth agency
to publicly deploy an online voter registration service with the Department. DHS was able to submit more than 7,739
applications online before the end of 2018. The Department also worked with the Department of Labor & Industry’s
(L&I) Office of Vocational Rehabilitation and Department of Health’s Women, Infants and Children (WIC) program to
deploy an online service. Moving forward, the Department continues to look for other opportunities to modernize voter
registration with state agencies.

 Customers are advised of the penalty for furnishing false information and are asked to sign a declaration
that the information they have provided is true and correct to the best of their knowledge;
 Customers are provided a receipt indicating pertinent information about their voter registration application,
including the date on which they applied at the photo license center. The receipt instructs customers to
contact their county voter registration office if they do not receive a voter identification card within two
weeks.
The completed applications are transmitted electronically by PennDOT’s contracted vendor to the Department, which in
turn forwards the applications to each county voter registration office via the SURE system. In 2018, 246,945 initial
applications and 641,615 change of address applications were sent to county election officials.
Online Voter Registration

The Pennsylvania Online Voter Registration (OVR) Application was deployed on August 27, 2015. The OVR application
provides residents of Pennsylvania with the opportunity to register to vote or change an existing voter registration
online and electronically submit voter registration data to their county voter registration office for processing. The
Department actively engaged election stakeholders outside of the Department, such as county election directors, the
elections advocacy community, and Pennsylvania citizens. In an effort to ensure that the final product would be
universally useable, DOS engaged the Center for Civic Design to review the text and the logical flow of information. The
Center also field tested the application in an urban and a rural community. This highly interactive development process
results in a better product overall and one that has been embraced by Pennsylvania voters in overwhelming numbers as
seen in usage numbers.
As of December 31, 2018, approximately 371,542 voter registration applications were submitted through the OVR

Statewide Uniform Registry of Electors (SURE)
SURE is the centralized voter registration and election management system designed to ensure the accuracy and
integrity of the Commonwealth's voter registration records maintained by the election authorities in Pennsylvania's 67
counties. The SURE system is a platform that supports the critical functions of the Commonwealth’s elections — from
determining voter eligibility to maintaining precinct data to producing poll books. A centralized, uniform registry that is
accessible to all county offices greatly enhances the overall accuracy and integrity of the voter registration rolls and the
resulting quality of voter services.
SURE Applications
SURE Voter Registration (SURE VR)

The SURE VR application is used by counties to process and maintain voter registration records and to perform a number
of election-related tasks, including the management of vote history, absentee ballots, poll books, election related
reports, and voter registration correspondence to voters.
SURE Portals
Public Portal
Voters can access the SURE Public Portal through the Department of State website where the department offers them
the ability to register to vote online, check their voter registration status, locate their polling place, and retrieve
electronic balloting materials for Uniform Military & Overseas Voters Act (UMOVA) qualified voters.
County Portal
The SURE County Portal provides counties with voter search, provisional ballot processing/certification, and other basic
capabilities through a standard web browser rather than the specialized equipment required to access SURE VR.
Counties can use the portal for seasonal and temporary staff who may need to access basic SURE functionality around
an election day or other busy period of time. Additionally, counties use the portal to upload election results, certify
election results, and certify voter registration statistics.
Agency Portal
The agency portal is used by Department of State personnel to manage elections and campaign finance data. The
Department uses the portal to maintain and retrieve the archive of historic election results by the precinct and county,
manage nomination petitions, and manage campaign finance records.
Kiosk
The kiosk is a public portal which is accessed through terminals located in county election offices and at the Department
of State. These portals allow the public to electronically submit voter registration applications, submit changes to their
current registration, and search public state-wide voter registration rolls.
17
Web Application Programming Interface (Web API)

A Web Application Programming Interface (Web API) was developed for individuals and organizations such as Rock the
Vote who wish to develop a website designed to gather voter registration application data during voter registration
drives. The Web API application contains the information these organizations need in order to submit voter registration
applications in an electronic format versus submitting paper applications. This tool also interacts with PennDOT to
capture signatures for valid driver’s licenses and sends the Pending Missing Signature correspondence as necessary. A
rigorous certification process managed by the Department of State ensures the individuals or organizations wishing to
use the Web API tool meet DOS identified testing standards prior to their Web API account being approved.
