Oregon DMV admits to wrongfully registering hundreds of non-citizens to vote

The Oregon DMV admitted on Friday to wrongfully registering at least 306 non-citizens to vote in U.S. elections.

The DMV says the wrongful registrations have occurred since 2021 and were the result of a program that automatically registered anyone who obtained a driver's license or state ID.

"I don't usually assume people's intentions, but it would seem they don't want us to use that information to identify non-citizens," LaRose told Fox.

Griffin-Valade defended the state's automatic voter registration program despite the lapse.

State officials say they expect to find more wrongful registrations ahead of Election Day.

"This is why we have resisted so-called automatic voter registration in Ohio.

Oregon Secretary of State LaVonne Griffin-Valade 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."
