Supervisor Hahn Wants Answers About Election Day Disarray
Los Angeles County Supervisor Janice Hahn called out technical challenges and long lines at vote centers in a motion she'll file today at the Board of Supervisors meeting.
"Voting in Los Angeles took on a much-needed transformation recently," the motion reads, noting voters' new freedom to vote at any center and for multiple days leading up the election.
Hahn wrote:
"However, despite all those improvements, we heard reports of large numbers of voters who were frustrated with their experience on Election Day."
Hahn wants the Registrar-Recorder to investigate all of the problems and report back in 45 days on how they'll be fixed before the really big election in November.
