A recount of the Nov. 8 election results might take place for at least three jurisdictions in Alameda County following a special meeting Thursday of the Board of Supervisors and the county may pay for it.
The special meeting was held following an error by the Alameda County Registrar of Voters that caused the candidate with the most votes in one election to lose. Oakland Unified School District board candidate Mike Hutchinson lost the District 4 school board race because of the error in counting votes in a ranked-choice voting system.
"Election integrity is critical" and the"cornerstone of our democracy," said Supervisor David Haubert, echoing comments by Carson. Sutton said his firm does not believe Registrar of Voters Tim Dupuis had the authority to retabulate the vote or retabulate it the way he did. The re-tabulation showed that Hutchinson won the race."He did it in the darkness of night," Sutton said.
Carson said in his proposal he is concerned about ranked-choice voting results in the Oakland mayoral race, San Leandro elections and the race for the OUSD District 4 school board seat.
