senator alex padilla was responsible for that election administration. many people who are not citizens, through no fault of their own, have been registered automatically to vote. people have experienced multiple registrations. the state settled a state over more than one million voters in los angeles county. more little -- more litigation is likely imminent because they lack of integrity and consistency among our voter rolls decreases voter registration and confidence. >> my apologies. i knew you were winding down. -- >> i knew you were winding down. so we can be flexible sometimes especially with the ranking member. thank you very much. >> of this time, the chair recognizes ms. scanlan. >> your testimony indicates that proponents of voter id laws seek to justify them on the grounds that election fraud by ineligible voters is rampant. could you comment on whether the research evidence or the judicial decisions support the claim that widespread voter fraud has the possibility or ability of impacting election results? >> thank you for that question . ther

unfortunately, then california secretary of state alex padilla could not tell this committee last fall how many ineligible people, deceased or have moved out of the state, had been removed from california's unmaintained voter rolls. that is not a lot of faith that california is in compliance. pennsylvania recently was forced to comply with federal law and remove 21,000 deceased individuals. michigan's secretary of state removed ineligible saying that michigan was not engaged in sufficient comprehensive efforts to maintain its lists. in wisconsin there was a lawsuit recently on this issue. wisconsin was not keeping its lists up-to-date in over 70,000 individuals registered even though they have moved. my states attorney general filed a brief and presented oral arguments in court in support of keeping these individuals on wisconsin voter rolls even though they no longer live where they were registered. according to wec, none of them voted in 2020. this further indicates the individuals moved. across the board, not that these facts are stopping democrats from trying to conflate the issue.
