Please DON'T be impressed that Interim Registrar Dean Logan has condescended to (semi)count our ballots. He stalled for four weeks, while he could have hand counted them all. Now, he is scanning and digitizing the ballots and sorting the images inside a computer and counting them inside another computer!

There is ABSOLUTELY NO TRANSPARENCY to this process. Not even the mandatory 1% manual tally!

The Election Protection Activists who are looking out forLos Angeles are alarmed that this resolution has been called a "Victory." It's anything but.
PLEASE read the Bradblog article linked below - he'll explain it to you!

SAVE THE DATE - Friday, March 7, 1:00 - 4:00

The State Senate Committee on Elections, (along with SOS Bowen!) will hold a Joint Informational Hearing:

"Problems Faced by Voters at the 2008 Presidential Primary election."

Friday, March 7, 1:00 - 4:00
Ronald Reagan State Building Auditorium
300 South Spring Street, Los Angeles
Please arrive early if you plan to testify.

After the "expert" testimony, (Dean Logan, Conny McCormack) there will be some (not alot, but some) time allotted for public testimony. WE URGE YOU to prepare a short testimony, have it on paper to hand in, in case you don't get on the roster.

SPEAK UP about your election day experience, if there was a snafu... SPEAK UP about problems that need to be addressed.
SHOW UP to support your fellow citizens who lost their vote and their voice on Election Day.

Dean Logan's double bubble count sets a dangerous precedent.Brad Friedman of Bradblog Explains in Detaihttp://www.bradblog.com/?p=5746-more-5746

Folks, give your County Supervisors a call, ask them -
WHY did they choose to hire an interim registrar with a bad record, and WHY do they keep him running our elections, after the mess on 2/05?
They LOVE hearing from us about Logan!
