Petition by Marin ‘election integrity’ group rejected by judge

In a ruling on the eve of Election Day, a federal judge denied a watchdog group’s attempt to have the court intervene in Marin County’s elections process.

Members of the group, dubbed the Marin Election Integrity Committee, filed the lawsuit last month, accusing top county and state elections officials of failing to remove ineligible voters from registration rolls before the election on Tuesday.

The defendants are Lynda Roberts, Marin County’s registrar of voters, and California Secretary of State Shirley Weber.
