A video posted by Nick Shirley is drawing attention to questions about California voter roll accuracy after a woman identified as Doris disputed records that reportedly listed her as 126 years old and credited her with voting in 51 elections.
Shirley and his team said they went to the address listed on California’s official voter rolls to verify the information. According to the video, the voter record identified Doris as 126 years old, though she told Shirley she was born in 1940, making her roughly 86.
The exchange, shown in a video posted to X, began with Shirley asking the woman to confirm her identity.
“Are you Doris?” Shirley asked.
“Yes,” she replied.
“Hello, Doris,” Shirley said.
“Yes,” she said.
“How are you doing?” Shirley asked.
“I’m good,” Doris answered.
Shirley then told her why he had come to the address.
“We’re just going through the voting rolls here, and we’re just confirming anybody who’s above the age of 100 years old. And right here it says you’re 126 years old,” he said.
Doris immediately rejected the information.
“No, you got the wrong house,” she said.
Shirley again asked whether she was Doris.
“Yeah, but you got the wrong house,” she said. “I’m Doris, but you got the wrong place. That’s the wrong information, all that stuff. No, no, uh-uh, that’s wrong.”
Shirley offered to show her the record.
“Oh, here, I can show you if you’d like,” he said.
“No, uh-uh, it’s just that it’s wrong,” Doris responded.
Shirley then asked why she thought California officials would have incorrect voter roll information.
“How come you think here in California they’re just messing up on all these voting rolls here?” he asked.
“I don’t know, because I don’t know what you’re talking about,” Doris said.
Shirley told her the record also showed she had voted in 51 elections.
“Yeah, it says you voted in 51 elections, Doris,” he said.
“No, not me,” she replied.
“Really?” Shirley asked.
“I’m not 100-some years old,” Doris said.
“I know, I just want to make sure you’re not 126 years old,” Shirley said.
“I’m not,” Doris responded.
Shirley repeated that the information he had seen listed her age as 126.
“Yeah, it really does say you’re 126 years old here,” he said.
Doris again disputed the record.
“No, who did this? You’d be 126. That don’t even make sense,” she said.
“I know, that’s what the Secretary of State says,” Shirley replied.
“Well, the Secretary of State is wrong… Well, I’ll put it like this: I was born in 1940, so you figure that out,” Doris said.
The video does not establish how the reported age or voting-history information appeared in the voter roll record, whether the listing involved a data-entry error, a matching issue, outdated information or another cause. It also does not show an official explanation from California election officials.
The encounter has nevertheless raised renewed scrutiny over voter roll maintenance in California. Shirley said he and his team were reviewing voter records for people listed as older than 100 when they identified Doris’ entry.
The woman’s on-camera denial creates a direct conflict between the record Shirley described and the biographical information she provided at the door. Doris said she was not 126, denied voting in 51 elections and said the state’s information was wrong.
The reported discrepancy comes amid broader national debate over election administration, voter list maintenance and public confidence in voter records. The video’s central question is whether California’s voter rolls contain outdated or inaccurate information and how such a record could remain listed if the age and voting history shown to Shirley were incorrect.
No response from the California Secretary of State’s office was included in the provided material.
