Just ahead of California’s March 3 primary and Los Angeles County’s general election, the city of Beverly Hills has filed a lawsuit calling for changes to the county’s new touch-screen electronic voting system. To view additional candidates, voters must select the “MORE” button. However, if voters inadvertently press the “NEXT” button instead, Beverly Hills officials warn, they won’t see all the candidates in a particular race. The lawsuit, filed Wednesday in Superior Court, seeks to force Los Angeles County to modify the system to ensure that all candidates are acknowledged by voters. It would be unfortunate if the lawsuit affected the March elections, said Woocher, “but, ultimately, we want to get this right.”California Secretary of State Alex Padilla’s office declined to comment on the Beverly Hills lawsuit.
