Mistake in perspective

The editorial "State voter registration glitch needs attention" by Brett Rowland on Jan. 29 is trying to create a major problem. Rowland states it is a huge problem that 16 of 545 people improperly registered voters cast ballots. This is just 2.9%. Did any of these votes cause an election to be compromised? I agree that a problem exists and should be fixed. But keep this in perspective.
