The Oregon DMV Admitted on Friday, to wrongfully Registering at least 306 Non-Citizens to Vote in U.S. Elections.
The DMV says it was the Result of a Program that Automatically Registered anyone who obtained a Driver's License or State ID. State Officials say they expect to find more wrongful Registrations ahead of Election Day, Nov. 5th. Oregon's Program started in 2019. Of the 306 People Identified, just Two Casts Ballots in an Election since 2021.
Oregon Secretary-of-State LaVonne Griffin-Valade (D) says the 306 People "will be notified by mail that they will not receive a ballot unless they demonstrate that they are eligible to vote."
Griffin-Valade Defended the State's Automatic Voter Registration Program despite the Lapse. Gov. Tina Kotek (D) also argued the Discovery will "Not Impact" the 2024 election. "While this error is regrettable, the secretary and the Elections Division stand by automatic voter registration and its many benefits," Griffin-Valade said.
"The error in data entry which may have affected the voter eligibility of some Oregonian’s voter registration was discovered because the Oregon DMV and the Secretary of State were doing their due diligence ahead of the 2024 election," Kotek said in another Statement. "My office will continue to closely monitor the situation. This situation will not impact the 2024 election in any way."
The Second Check is the Federal Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) Database, a List of Non-Citizen Data maintained by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). States have to pay $1.50 for each Query of the Database, however, and finding the Information required to Properly Search the Data is Cumbersome.
As Election Officials are seeking Access to more DHS Data that would allow for a more Accurate Audit of Voter Rolls, the System is ovetloded, and Rrequests have so far been Refused.
