Here's another finding from the voter registration database transaction log that Deanron finally released earlier this month, more than six months after I requested it--

Recall the challenges filed by GOP activist Lori Sotelo against several hundred voters who were improperly registered claiming residence at private mailboxes and public storage facilities. The Angry Left opponents of election integrity in county government and the liberal media spent the next few weeks hammering Sotelo and the GOP for daring to inconvenience unlawfully registered voters. Even though the vast majority of these registrations were plainly bogus -- nobody really lives in a mailbox -- all but a handful of the challenges were dismissed. The only ones upheld were those where the voter admitted that they didn't live in the mailbox. But as it turns out, the transaction log contains even more evidence that hundreds of these registrations were bogus: 306 of the official letters mailed by the Elections office to the challenged voters were returned as undeliverable. So not only did these mailbox voters not live at the mailboxes where they claimed to live, they didn't even receive their mail there. Imagine that.

Nevertheless, Deanron rejected the challenges and those registrations remain on the books. While these registrations won't necessarily be used by the original voter who abandoned them, they could be a tempting target for someone else to cast a provisional ballot or sign an initiative petition in the original voter's name. (and don't tell me that signature verification can prevent such mischief)

Also, recall that the GOP did goof by challenging 46 voters registered at the Watermarke apartment building. Even though the GOP apologized and retracted the challenges immediately upon discovering the error, and every eligible voter was able to vote without difficulty, the Angry Left is still in a lather over this. But as it turned out, 21 of those 46 challenged voters didn't really live at that building anyway -- their mail was also returned to the election office as undeliverable. So those 21 challenges were (unintentionally) correct after all.
