A federal judge has denied a request from a conservative nonprofit organization to prevent over a quarter-million allegedly inactive voters from participating in the upcoming presidential election in Pennsylvania.

On Nov. 4, Judge Robert D. Mariani of the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania ruled against the plaintiffs, Citizen AG (also known as 1789 Foundation) and an individual voter, who argued that 277,768 individuals on Pennsylvania’s voter rolls were ineligible due to a failure to respond to confirmation notices in 2020 and lack of participation in subsequent federal elections.
