Oregon officials admitted an error with the state's automatic voter enrollment problem was larger than previously thought, registering 1,259 possible noncitizens since 2021.
Ten of the mistakenly enrolled individuals went on to cast a ballot, according to Oregon's Secretary of State, although at least one became a citizen before voting.
The enrollment error was first unearthed earlier this month, with officials admitting to wrongly registering around 300 voters through an Oregon DMV program that registers legal citizens when they obtain a driver's license or state ID.
But this week, the DMV and Secretary of State's office said a complete review showed 1,259 people who didn't provide proof of U.S. citizenship were added to Oregon's voter rolls, a number four times the previously reported figure.
