"Aguirre writes to registrar over security of balloting"

"Just four days before the statewide special election, San Diego City Attorney Michael Aguirre has sent a letter to the county Registrar of Voters expressing "concerns" about Tuesday's voting.

"While I am not a conspiracy theory proponent regarding this issue," Aguirre wrote, "I do believe that legitimate questions exist about the accuracy and security of the canvassing process."

Among his requests, Aguirre wants a deputy city attorney to observe the vote counting Tuesday night.

The letter was faxed to Registrar Mikel Haas yesterday afternoon.

"This process is open to the public, and you don't have to get my permission to be an observer," Haas said yesterday, after reading the letter."

Here is the article.
