How motor voter works:
A person can fill out a form to become a voter at their State offices to obtain a car license. That office does not/cannot add the voter to the official voter list which is kept at the Secretary of State's office. Once the SOS receives the form for someone to become a voter, they check state records on that individual through law enforcement records, birth records, residence records, passport records, death records, etc., to determine if that person is a valid voter. Only if the person is a valid voter is that person put on the official voter list. IT SOUNDS LIKE the SOS who resigned did so because he screwed up, did not check records before putting the people on the voter list.
