The Orange County Registrar of Voters Neal Kelley Page issued a statement addressing the matter. “The Orange County Registrar of Voters is committed to ensuring equal access to the election process, protecting the integrity of votes, and maintaining a transparent, accurate, and fair election system,” Page assured the public. He emphasized that the situation was handled in accordance with established protocols.
Registrar’s Office Responds to Claims
In response to the footage and the controversy it sparked, the Registrar’s office provided a detailed explanation to The Gateway Pundit. They clarified that the worker’s actions were not fraudulent but part of standard procedures for resolving scanner errors.
WATCH:
“This video shows an Orange County election worker scanning a batch of ballots three times, but only saving the batch once,” the statement read. The explanation pointed out that the batch report printed only after the third scan, indicating that the first two scans were not saved. This procedure was followed due to ballots being rejected during the initial scans, likely requiring the scanner to be cleaned before the batch could be successfully processed.
Rigorous Audits and Quality Checks
The Registrar’s office further detailed the rigorous quality control measures in place to ensure ballots are counted accurately.
“Other Orange County election workers later quality-checked the batch of ballots in this video two additional times, making sure the ballots in the batch match the information printed on the report,” they stated. “We do not upload any batch of ballots into the tally until these two reviews are completed.”
Additionally, the office highlighted its comprehensive auditing process. Before certifying the election results, teams hand-counted ballots from 23 randomly selected precincts, later expanding the audit to cover all 171 contests on the ballot. Approximately 40,000 ballots were hand-counted to verify the machine tally’s accuracy.
The Registrar’s office stressed that these measures ensure the election results are both accurate and transparent. Details of the audits can be reviewed on their official website at ocvote.gov/audit.

As investigations continue, election officials remain under intense pressure to address concerns and uphold the integrity of the voting system.
