“Orange County Sent Incorrect Voter Registration Data To State Of Florida”

WLRN:

The Orange County Supervisor of Elections Office is blaming a widely used elections software company for a false report to the state that nearly a quarter million registered voters had been removed from the county’s voting rolls. 

That incorrect number made it into a monthly data report by the Florida Division of Elections. The report lists 257,698 “active” voters that were removed from the voting rolls across the state in January. Out of that total number, 239,147 of the removed voters were from Orange County alone.

The published data would have meant that Orange County removed more than 150 times the total number of voters as compared to the county with the second-most voters removed. It also would have meant that more “active” voters were removed from voting rolls from a single county and during a single month than the total number of voters removed from across the entire state annually going back to 2017, according to state data.

Questioned about the outlier data, the Orange County Supervisor of Elections said the information it sent to the state was incorrect. The office pointed the finger at software from VR Systems, a third-party company that started handling the county’s voter registration system in mid-December
