'This Error Is Regrettable': Hundreds of Non-Citizens Registered to Vote by Oregon’s Department of Motor Vehicles | 14 Sept 2024 | Officials in Oregon admitted Friday that a data entry mistake registered over 300 non-citizens to vote in the state since 2021, The Associated Press (AP) reported. Kevin Glenn, a spokesperson for the Oregon Department of Transportation, said an analysis conducted by the department showed that 306 non-citizens were registered to vote when they applied for driver's licenses, according to the AP. Of those mistakenly registered, two have voted since 2021 in spite of state and federal laws restricting non-citizens from voting, Glenn added, according to the AP. Glenn explained that DMV employees sometimes incorrectly indicate that a person applying for a driver's license or state ID has a U.S. birth certificate or passport even if they don't, the AP reported.
