 Interviewed for a revised Star Tribune Story posted May 28th, Secretary of State Mark Ritchie admitted that there is a discrepancy between vote totals in the official election canvassing report and votes reported in the statewide voter registration system. He stated "you'll never get a perfect correlation between the two." He acknowledged a mismatch of vote totals, stating his goal was to eventually reconcile the number to within 1,000 and referred the reporter to the counties to "ask about their own numbers."
Ritchie's comments are in response to the lawsuit filed against the secretary of state alleging that his office and several county election officials have failed to update the statewide voter registration system with the 2008 election results within the statutorily mandated timeframes.
