Possibly he was registered to vote as “Fonz, Da.”
Among the nearly 120,000 people left off voting rosters in Los Angeles County was former Happy Days TV show star Henry Winkler, apparently.
After taking to Twitter not long after sunrise Tuesday to “kindly suggest” that people vote because “Our Country depends on US,” Winkler returned to Twitter in the evening to say that his name had been left off the polling registry.
Los Angeles County registrar Dean Logan blamed a printing error that affected more than 1,500 precincts and kept 118,522 voters’ names off the registered-voters list. Poll workers were told to make sure every voter whose name was absent from the roster received a provisional ballot, which will be counted once registration is confirmed, Logan’s office said in a statement.
Winkler was known on Happy Days as “Arthur Fonzarelli,” usually called “Fonzie,” and was often referred to as “The Fonz,” or, self-referentially, “Da Fonz.” On Tuesday evening, he posted a photo and message on Twitter suggesting he had overcome the poll problem.
“Your turn,” he tweeted, above a photo of himself wearing an “I Voted” sticker on his shirt.
