A couple from La Mesa, Calif., received a voter registration card from Covered California, the state's Obamacare exchange, pre-marked for the Democratic Party, ABC10 reports:
The couple – who did not want their identity revealed – received the letter and voter registration card from their health insurance provider Covered California, the state-run agency that implements President Obama's Affordable Care Act.
They have lived in La Mesa for years and they have always been registered to vote Republican. Now, they are perplexed as to how the voter registration card pre-marked Democrat ended up in their mailbox.
"I'm an old guy and I never would have noticed it, except I have an accountant that notices every dot and dash on a piece of paper as a wife," said the man who received the mailer.
Covered California's spokeswoman Anna Gonzalez said, "We are mailing voter registration material. However, the application forms come directly from the Secretary of State's office, with no fields pre-marked. The individual should contact the Secretary of State, which takes these violations of election law extremely seriously, and they will investigate, using the unique serial number."
