Tens of thousands of Californians have been registered to vote incorrectly by the state Department of Motor Vehicles, including some who were assigned the wrong political party preference, officials said Wednesday.
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 Californias 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.
Jean Shiomoto, the states DMV director, and Amy Tong, director of the California Department of Technology, described the problem as an administrative processing error in a letter to Secretary of State Alex Padilla, Californias chief elections officer.
...
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 language preference or a request to vote by mail, to be inadvertently merged into the file of the next customer, Shiomoto and Tong wrote. The incorrect registration form was then sent to state elections officials, who used it to update Californias 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 drivers license in California were mistakenly registered to vote. An unknown number of errors included voters whose political party preferences were changed without their consent. Officials did not provide additional details about the errors they uncovered during a month long investigation.

Illegally, with prior felonious intent
/edit
Make that 2.3 million intentionally registered while illegal and I’ll believe it.
If a system that is flawed by its own admittance, even by the LA Times ultra liberal rag, then how do they know for sure there are not many more that were illegally or improperly registered that they are not admitting to? You can only see the tip of the iceberg and the iceberg will show you only so much.
Are they sure that they are the only ones? Are they sure those people didn’t intend to register in the party they got? Are they sure more than that were literally illegally registered and voted because they could or were coerced or brainwashed with media mislead? So, out of 1.4 million registered, how many were actually correctly registered? The only fact they have, or are willing to admit, is they don’t know how many were illegally register.
Now the fun begins. If they are admitting that people illegally voted in, possibly large numbers, in the executive and legislative part of the election, then why can’t they find if they voted and erase that vote no matter who it was for with a representative of the DNC and GOP present? (They screwed it up once....) It is registered as being filled. And if they can’t do that because they can’t trace the actual vote from a document that has numbers involved, then the state vote determination of officers outside the state should be purged and either re-voted, too late for that, or erased because of the state’s failure to provide correct and legal voting representation amounts. And that is the state’s fault, not the federal government they are providing officers to. So their legislative and executive branch vote for the entire state is eliminated. That would make it legal and the blame by California citizens would be on the state they are supposed to be legally represented by with their tax dollars. Then watch the lawsuits come flying in. The state officials at that point had better give up trying to save the seals and consider saving the back sides. Even robots can use logic to it’s best interest.

This a Feature of the Clinton era Motor Voter Law, not a Bug.
Under Motor Voter, if you register for something like a driver’s license, you get registered to vote. If California is issuing DLs to illegal aliens, then it is a safe bet they are getting registered to vote as well.
BTTT
Soooooo—Calif will print, process, pay postage, and mail out inquiries to 1.4 MILLION ‘voters’ ????
Those are the ones in Los Angeles County who voted in Nov 2016 , registered on election day, and used ‘provisional’ ballots. Those are the large group of votes that Hillary got in Los Angeles County.
Interestingly, when I recently moved to AZ, I got a notice from previous State I was no longer registered to vote in that State.
With all the moving around I have done in the last 30 years, that was a first.
Glad to see it!
it was a Blue State too.
It is both good and a little scary that they kept up with your status!
