Carly Fiorina is getting ready to challenge Barbara Boxer in 2010, but the former Hewlett Packward CEO may first have to answer some questions about her spotty voting record.
The San Francisco Chronicle reports that Fiorina has voted in just 5 of 18 elections since she registered to vote in California.
Before moving to California, the Chronicle found, Fiorina was registered to vote in New Jersey. But after eight years of never casting a vote, she was dropped from the voter rolls.
Before that, Fiorina lived in Montgomery County, Md., where the registrar’s office said they reviewed state databases and found no listing of Fiorina’s voter registration.
Fiorina strongly disputes the voting records as “just wrong,” her spokeswoman, Beth Miller, said. Miller said Tuesday that Fiorina has no records to prove her past voting record and has acknowledged her failure to vote in some elections. But while “she didn’t vote all the time … she did vote,” the spokeswoman added.
