In order to actually obtain an updated current list from the County Recorders office you have to be current candidate so since there are no candidates running right now this information was obtained from a previous election.

I know this for a because I once ran for an elected office here in Orange County and still have the list of all the register voters information on CD.

That sounds plausible.
