The superintendent of elections says even his wife got the letter. Carmine Casciano says he was finally able to get to the bottom of the problem.
A statewide effort to register every eligible voter by matching voting rolls and Department of Motor Vehicle records backfired because the system flags voters when information doesn't exactly match.
