(New York, New York) – Claims circulating on social media that 26 people are registered to vote at a “toilet” address in California.
Election experts note that while voter rolls can occasionally contain outdated or incorrect addresses due to clerical errors, people moving, or database syncing issues, those errors do not equate to fraudulent voting. California election officials use multiple safeguards, including signature verification and ballot tracking- to prevent illegitimate ballots from being counted, even if an address on file is incorrect.
Fact-checkers and independent reporting have repeatedly found that widespread voter fraud in California is extremely rare, and there is no evidence this alleged “toilet registration” resulted in ballots being cast or counted. Without documentation from election officials or law enforcement, the claim remains unverified and misleading, underscoring how viral posts can distort public understanding of election systems.
