Bexar hiring new elections administrator. Now's the time for action
Cliff Borofsky resigned last week.

http://www.mysanantonio.com/news/metro/stories/MYSA071505.1A.borofsky.6cc94931.html

I found him in face-to-face meetings to be unfriendly (in a noncommittal and civil kind of way) to verified and hardcopy-backed voting reform.

Here are the top contenders according to the SA-Express News...

http://www.mysanantonio.com/columnists/stories/MYSA071605.03B.Castillo.716655ca.html

"County Judge Nelson Wolff said the county's Elections Commission would meet Friday to discuss a successor. Wolff said he believes there are two solid in-house contenders: David Morgan, the county's chief information officer who played a key role in the move to electronic voting, and Jacque Callanen, the county's elections manager."

Please take a few minutes to let the people on the Bexar Elections Commission know that you want an administrator committed to a paper trail. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the commission is made up of the following ex-officio members:

Nelson Wolff, County Judge nwolff@co.bexar.tx.us 335-2626
Sylvia Romo, Tax Collector, taxoffice@co.bexar.tx.us
Gerry Rickoff, County Clerk, 335-2216
Rudy Casias, Bexar Dem Party Chair staff@bexardemocrats.org .
Richard Langlois, GOP Chair (you never know) http://www.bexargop.org/contact_us.htm

1. Good luck to you out in S.A., carpetbagger
And keep us posted. Please download and deliver a copy of "Myth Breakers" to their office to help them understand how badly these DREs are.

Copies available for download here. It a big download (70 pages).
Excellent summary of the issues and screw ups with DREs.
