Oregon's governor and top elections official have called for an independent external audit of the state's automatic voter registration system. This decision follows the Oregon DMV's identification of an additional 302 individuals mistakenly registered to vote, on top of the previously reported 1,259 non-citizens. The Motor Vehicles Services Division's After-Action Report highlighted these errors, prompting concerns over the integrity of the voter rolls. Democratic Governor Tina Kotek emphasized the need for an independent audit to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the 'Motor Voter' program.
