Oregon mistakenly registered hundreds more voters without proving citizenship
Fox News
Officials in Oregon announced Monday that they have identified a further 302 people on the state’s voter rolls who didn’t provide proof of citizenship when they were registered to vote.
The mistakes occurred in part because Oregon passed a law in 2019 allowing some residents who aren’t citizens to obtain driver’s licenses. And the state’s so-called "Motor Voter" law, which took effect in 2016, automatically registers most people to vote when they seek a new license or ID.

The improper voter registrations stem from clerical errors at the state DMV.
