concurring.

One’s status as an elector can neither be destroyed nor impaired by a mistake of the government. No official agency’s error will confer public rights upon a person who, at a maximum, may claim to be its incidental beneficiary. See in this connection Burdick v. Independent School Dist., 1985 OK 49 , 702 P.2d 48, 55-56 .
