Madison - One in five people who registered this month to vote provided information that does not match driver's license records, state officials said Wednesday.

Many of those mismatches are likely typos or similar problems because voter records are supposed to match driver records exactly. Mismatches can occur in a host of situations — when clerks transpose digits in driver’s license numbers; when people use a middle initial or nickname on their licenses but not when they register to vote; or when they register to vote under their latest residence without updating the address on their driver’s license.

From Aug. 6 until Tuesday, 4,350 of the voters whose names were checked did not match driver or Social Security records, said Barb Hansen, the Statewide Voter Registration System director. That’s 22% of the 19,470 voters whose names were checked; it includes people who registered for the first time as well as those who changed their address.

Same shit different day.

1. Use a utility bill? What is such a big deal with all this?

Who is creating all this confusion? I have been voting for years. And it was only in 2000 when we couldn't trust the people to vote right?
