Wierd day after filing the demand for a recount

After going to the Registrar of Voters where some sort of public showing of support for an investigation was being organized by ET Snell and one of the 9-12 groups [and ET was the only one there waiting for Keri Virjil], I bought a Sun [and as I suspected the reporter Korn (1) did not cover the computer picking the winner argument supported from the code printed off the Registrar's own computer display, nor (2) did he report the recount was being requested for ALL races county-wide due to the code and the uniform percentages of the 1402 precincts reporting county wide], went over the the Board of Supervisors, was called 4 times by a reporter from the Los Angeles Daily Journal (Jason) who in one conversation (after he talked with Virjil) passed on that Virjil was preparing some report for the Board of Supervisors, that I could pay for a recount (per Virjil's suggestion to him) and asked whether I intended to do that. Wow..it seems that the Registrar, that does not per Korn of the Sun know anything about the counting and tabulation software, is now going to put together a report to the Board of Supervisors. I guess from the "tip" couriered through Jason of the Los Angeles Daily Journal, I guess we know what the County is going to be told to do, without regard to the lack of expertise of the Registrar, the clear record of the software with less than half the votes counting picking/designating a winner in the ALL the county wide races. At the Board of Supervisor's meeting saw Sheriff-elect Hoops and gave him a copy of the complaint filed with the County. Was called by some smaller papers' reporters and faxed over copies of the complaint. The sad part of the adverse feedback is that no one seems to get that the integrity of the system and public confidence is at risk. Another pick-up through the day was that Ron Zook (Mitzelfelt's staffer, former employee of the Sun as I recall) was stationed at the Board of Supervisor's behind some speakers/potential speakers and after talking with him, the 9-12 Patriot group member, who apparently was going to talk at the Board of Supervisor's meeting, left--the same person who was going to show at the registrar's office with dozens of others to voice a protest for the vote handling. It seems that the republican leadership is succeeding at keeping things quiet and "not causing a stir" (Eric Stone's words, the primary opponent to Jerry Lewis).
