Tens of Thousands of Californians have been Registered to Vote Incorrectly by the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), including some who were assigned the Wrong Political Party Preference, Officials said.
Officials insist the Errors were limited to 23,000 of the 1.4 Million Voter Registration files sent to Elections Offices between late April, when California’s New Automated “Motor Voter” system went into effect, and early August.
Californians who were Affected will soon receive Notifications in the Mail instructing them to Check their Voter Registration Status.
The Errors, which were Discovered more than a Month ago, happened when DMV Employees did not Clear their Computer Screens between Customer Appointments. That caused some Voter Information from the Previous Appointment, such as:
- Party Affiliation
- Language Preference
- Request to Vote by Mail
to be “Inadvertently Merged” into the File of the Next Customer.
Why didn't the software Clear the Screen's Data, which should not be duplicated, after the File of Submit Bbutton was pressed.
The Incorrect Registration Form was then sent to State Elections Officials, who used it to Update California’s Voter Registration Database.
A Small Number of the Mistakes, Officials estimated around 1,600, involved People who did Not Intend to Register to Vote.
State Officials said No People in the Country Illegally, who are Eligible to get a Special Driver’s License in California, were Mistakenly Registered to Vote.
Officials did not provide additional Details about the Errors they Uncovered during a Monthlong Investigation.
