We Can't Even Get Voting Right In California

Errors in registration in the one-party state that is the People's Democratik Republik of Kalifornia?  Shocked, shocked I say:
California's elections officials have found themselves with an unexpected headache ahead of the June 5 primary: potentially thousands of cases where two voter registration forms were created for one person, errors caused by the state's "motor voter" program that launched last month...

State elections officials said a software error affected some 77,000 voter records generated at the Department of Motor Vehicles over the past month. Some of those records — how many remains unclear — resulted in two registration forms for a single voter, a problem reported in several county elections offices across California. Left unfixed, it could keep a voter from casting party-specific votes or, in the most extreme cases, cause two ballots to be issued to a voter. 
If that isn't bad enough, throw this into the mix:
The head of California's campaign watchdog agency resigned her position on Tuesday…

Remke's resignation comes amid ongoing turmoil among members of the five-member commission. It also falls one week before Election Day, a period which typically draws dozens of campaign ethics complaints to the agency.
So it goes in the People's Republik.
