State officials demand changes to L.A. County voting after election day chaos

California Secretary of State Alex Padilla demanded that Los Angeles County officials mail ballots to each of the county's 5.5 million voters ahead of the November election after the rollout of a new voting system was marred by broken machines and hours-long wait times.

 

The demand by the state's chief elections officer followed calls from L.A. County supervisors for an investigation into the system.

California officials demand changes to L.A. voting after election day chaos

 

“I’m beyond frustrated and disappointed in what I saw on Tuesday, and I’m committed to making sure it doesn’t happen again,” Secretary of State Alex Padilla said. “Clearly, voters deserve better.”

 

L.A. County’s rollout of its long-awaited voting system — including new ballot-marking machines and regional vote centers in lieu of neighborhood polling places — was marred by reports of broken devices and wait times of three hours or longer. Many of the voters standing in long lines were angry that they had no other way to cast a ballot in the statewide presidential primary. Los Angeles County was given special treatment under a 2016 state election law, allowing officials to close polling places without mailing a ballot to every voter.

 

That meant that as many 2 million Angelenos were forced to find one of the vote centers, of which there were far fewer than polling places used in the 2018 elections.
