Voters say they were duped into registering as Republicans

"I am not a Republican," insisted Karen Ashcraft, 47, a pet clinic manager from Ventura who said she was duped by a signature gatherer into joining the GOP. "I certainly . . . won't sign anything in front of a grocery store ever again."
YPM, a group hired by the GOP, allegedly deceived Californians who thought they were signing a petition. YPM denies any wrongdoing. Similar accusations have been leveled against the company elsewhere.

1. But it doesn't matter in the general election
The incorrect registration may skew polls but shouldn't affect the general election. Right?

3. Skewing the polls could be a lame attempt to back up a future bogus claim of voter fraud. n/t
