Aguirre Wants Oversight of Vote CountFriday, November 4, 2005 -- 4:47 p.m.
City Attorney Mike Aguirre has asked the county registrar to allow a him to assign a deputy from his office to monitor how votes from Tuesday's election will be counted.
In a letter to County Registrar of Voters Mikel Hass, the city attorney said that he was concerned with the accuracy of how votes in the upcoming election will be tabulated.
"I know that you share my desire for a fair, efficient, and accurate voting and counting process, and I look forward to our working together to ensure we achieve this goal," Aguirre stated.
The county uses Diebold AccuVote-OS optical scanning machines and activists asked Aguirre for more supervision of the vote-tallying process locally after various media reports nationwide questioned the accuracy of the Diebold machines.
Haas has said in prior interviews that the Diebold machines are accurate.
