Candidates for Oakland's at-large city council seat demand investigation into election process

It's been weeks since Election Day, but as most counties are wrapping up their vote count, there is growing concern about both the election and the vote count in Alameda County.

Candidates for Oakland's at-large city council seat are demanding an investigation into the election process.

In a letter to the Alameda County Board of Supervisors and the election committee, seven out of the 10 candidates running for Oakland at-large council seat are expressing concern over the integrity and transparency of the county’s electronic voting system.

Kanitha Matoury spearheaded the effort after her supporters told her they had trouble finding her name on the electronic ballot in the crowded race.

1. Two cents wlrth.

The screen should show all the candidates on one page. Second, CA rotates the position of candidates on ballots to help with first person on the ballot bias. So, in theory, all candidates would have gotten on page 2 some of the time.

2. Alameda county

Every election cycle I track my ballot until the Official Alameda election site of Alameda County records it as received. This time I waited weeks before it was recorded. I was told the postal service hadn't sent it to them. This has never happened before. Now I wonder how many voters had the same problems.
