1. (in response to "Election Night Percentages" in Registrar Verjil's June 18, 2010 letter - link to PDF letter), the letter admits there is an unexplained pattern of non-deviation from the percentages in past elections (from beginning to end on election night) which is not only statistically unlikely in one race in a demographically diverse county such as San Bernardino, but in all county-wide races? 1400 plus precincts times the number of county wide races times over the last 10 years? The chances are better winning the lotto.
2. (in response to the use of the term "winner" referenced in Verjil's letter of June 18, 2010), Registrar Verjil's letter talks about "technological errors with the voting equipment" and then gives no basis for the conclusion "no results were either intentionally or negligently manipulated and no winners were picked by this office" (after telling the Sun's reporter, Joe Nelson, that she had no idea how the software worked) but does not deny the computer labeled the eventual winners in the county wide races with less than 40% of the vote in, nor does she suggest any changes could be made to purge the appearance of a race being called nor even an appropriate explanation to the public if an innocent phenomenon was being captured);
3. Its not "winner on the website" as referenced in Registrar Verjil's letter--the pages copies showed the coded instruction pages consistent with picking a winner.
4. While software for counting and tabulation (and the scanners) can be approved, the State does not approve voter dilution.
I could go on for hours--I won't because I really don't think anyone much cares about the integrity of the count, tabulation and reporting of what is put in the ballot box. The problem is bigger than one race and goes to confidence in the system.
The corruption machine rolls on.

The UC Red Team reports described in the above discussion provide clear evidence of how the voting systems can be easily hacked. You may want to contact the scientists involved in preparing the above reports to get affidavits from them, in support of any legal actions that you may want to initiate. Also, you may want to suggest to your County Registrar that they can still use the Ballot Browser software referenced in the discussion comments, to get an independent count of a subset of the ballot and compare it against the count provided by the voting systems, to check the sanity of the systems.
