OAKLAND, Calif. - Oakland school board election results are changing because of a misconfiguration of the system that tallied the votes, the Alameda County Registrar of Voters said in a news release late Wednesday.

The Nov. 8 election results for District 4 in the Oakland Unified School District will change because of the error.

KEYWORDS:
The system failed to give candidates a first-choice vote when the voter selected a second choice for an office but not a first choice. If the voter selected a third choice, that was supposed to become their second choice for an office. Because of the misconfiguration, votes were not advanced in that way.


Ranked choice voting. Coming soon to your region.

I long for the old days when you voted once in person with paper and then they counted the paper and whoever had the most was the winner.

The last clean election the United States ran was in 2005 - in Iraq.

“We had an election ... and we did some stuff ... blah, blah, blah ... working really hard ... yadda, yadda, yadda ... and this guy won.”

I feel good about “our democracy”.

This should be illegal! The “system” is illegally changing someone’s vote!!

If I vote “none of the above” as my first choice, which is basically what the voter stated, then you CANNOT say that my second place vote is a first place vote. My first place vote was NONE OF THE ABOVE - PERIOD!!

No other election was changed because of an obvious software bug that affected ALL ballots.

Just this one?!

Yeah - BS! This is blatant theft of an election.

Redo the entire election.

One more way of manipulating elections and getting rid of the hated closed primary. We just can’t have people deciding who should rule them.

Ranked choice voting - obfuscation used to advance democrat candidates and steal the vote.
