      Oh hey, a clerical error that got fixed without undue criminalization. 30 people voted that shouldn’t have, and won’t anymore. Priority number one

      In total, the technical and clerical errors are so far known to have resulted in 1,739 people being mistakenly registered to vote, according to the Secretary of State’s office, which said many were later confirmed to be citizens. As of this month, the office has determined that only 30 of those people voted in an election — a tiny fraction of the state’s roughly 3 million registered voters.

      This is literally a nothingburger.
