Should San Diego County Registrar Mikel Haas Resign?
Please Take the Poll…SD County Democratic Chair Calls for Haas' Resignation and So Do We!
San Diego's very conservative radio host and fill-in host for Rush Limbaugh, Roger Hedgecock — who agrees with me nonetheless about Electronic Voting Machines — wonders if San Diego County's Registrar of Voters Mikel Haas, one of the worst in the country, should resign.
Of course, we suggest the answer to that is a YES in no uncertain terms! Haas is the man who helped make the phrase "voting machine sleepover" part of the lexicon by sending home the world's most hackable Diebold voting machines with poll workers for three weeks prior to both the recent general election, as well as the Special U.S. House race between Busby and Bilbray in CA's 50th over the summer.

Also reported in the same article by the U-T…
Malfunctioning machines, frustrating waits and confusion over electronic voting yesterday cast a pall on polling places from Oceanside to Otay Mesa.
Some left without voting after unusually long waits.
Others said they weren't sure their votes were recorded on the Diebold machines after paper jams prevented them from viewing a voter-verified paper trail.
Many precincts had machines that didn't work at all, at least at the beginning of the day as poll workers struggled to set up in time for the 7 a.m. opening.
We're calling for Haas' immediate resignation. He's a disgrace, has undermined confidence of the voters, and results is that elections in San Diego have become a complete joke under his tenure in the county. There is absolutely no basis for confidence in any election administered by Mikel Haas on November 7th.
Please vote YES in the online poll!
