The recall ballot was counted, but the primary ballot was rejected.
The woman reported herself in October of last year to the Orange County Registrar of Voter’s Office, which reported her to the District Attorney's Office.
An investigation into the incident revealed she posted about her dog's voting activity on social media.
In January 2022, Yourex posted a photo of her dog wearing an "I Voted" sticker and posing with the ballot.

The District Attorney's Office did not reveal how Yourex cast the fraudulent votes or which party received the dog's votes.
To register to vote in California, an eligible voter must fill out a form with identifiable information, political preference and affirm their citizenship under the penalty of perjury.
Proof of residence or identification is not required for citizens to register to vote or cast a ballot in state elections, but proof of residence and registration is needed for first-time voters to cast a ballot in a federal election.
