Register "The Orange County
Board of Supervisors has seemed reluctant to
tackle a potentially serious problem in one of the
most important offices in the county: the
Registrar of Voters. If the registrar is not
operating efficiently or fairly, the public could
start to question the validity of the entire
election process. It would be troubling to head
down that road ... Rather than deal with the
problem directly, the Board of Supervisors hired
... the Houston-based Elections Center, to review
the specific allegations regarding the Orange
County registrar's behavior in the Capo recall
fracas."

Editorial, The Orange County
Register "The Board of
Supervisors is left in the same place it was
before it spent $25,000 on this report: There is
still debate over the competence and fairness of
how the registrar's office is being run. The board
needs to decide – publicly, we prefer, and after
hearing from Messrs. Smollar and Kelley – if this
is the way they want elections handled in Orange
County ... The report did offer a range of banal,
but useful suggestions. For instance, it
recommended that written procedures should be
developed to handle recalls and that user-friendly
handouts should be available for
petitioners."

Register "The scandals that
demand outside investigation are twofold: the
behavior of Mr. Fleming and his administration and
the performance of the Registrar of Voters office.
The former should be conducted by the district
attorney, the latter by the Board of
Supervisors."
