Altogether. we have approximately 2.500 illegal registrants discovered in our process. and that has to be taken care of as a separate issue. through further legislation. That indicated that there were still 820 suspect registrants who did vote in the November 1996 election. At that point we went into extensive examination of the data to try to document in the best possible way those that we could be certain were illegal noncitizens who voted. and the number that emerged was 624. We had circumstantial evidence that an additional 196 had voted but were unable to document it to my and our satisfaction. and. therefore. we decided not to include those in the total of questionable votes. If we add to the 624 illegal noncitizen voters that we have identified the 124 absentee ballots that had previously been disallowed by the Orange County Registrar of Voters. then we discover 748 illegal votes. And that is the total that we had emerge as the number of illegal votes cast in that election. If one were to include those votes with circumstantial evidence of illegality. there would be 944.
