Please Sign Petition to Investigate Corrupt San Diego Registrar of Voters!
This petition was drawn up by Ken Simpkins, LandShark (Paul Lehto)'s co-counsel in the San Diego lawsuit challenging the Busby/Bilbray election last June. This petition deals specifically with issues from the November 2006 election, and requests that new California Secretary of State Debra Bowen launch an investigation.

Executive Summary

The conduct of elections in San Diego County has raised significant concerns for the electorate. This complaint is meant to address some of the most serious concerns raised by the November 7, 2006, election, and to request that the Secretary of State’s Office investigate and
report on the issues raised.

The perceptions of citizens are that the requirements for the certification of the Diebold election machines used in San Diego County have not been complied with. Requirements for acceptance testing and logic and accuracy testing have not been fully complied with. Requirements for maintaining a strict chain of custody for securing memory cards (ballot boxes) put in place to address vulnerabilities to tampering revealed by public and private studies have
been violated. The requirement for removing election machines from service when security seals are discovered to be removed was ignored. Voting machines without seals were allowed to continue in service without regard to the risk that votes cast on the machines could be deemed
illegal and discarded. The requirement that all available reports are to be printed from each machine at the end of the election and before the memory card is removed from the machine was not complied with. In San Diego County, all of the available reports are not printed, or are
printed after the cards are removed from the machine.

While the People own their elections, elections officials in San Diego County appear to view the public as an adversary to an official agenda that seems more aligned with partisan and corporate interests than with democratic values. ...

2. Thanks EM!
Kicked and hoping folks jump in, sign up, and make noise! This petition is an important one, as it's not a "factory" email, money raising one, but a real grassroots effort.
