then waiting for a Basic Life Support (BLS) ambulance to
arrive to transport patients to medical facilities; example
provided shows 4 ambulances responding to a two person vehicle
accident which is opposite of what should be occurring by
sending the least amount of resources capable of providing the
highest level of care |

Jeff Brown - Oral Re:
Proposes new way forward for elections with a flexible secure
and accessible model that saves money; San Bernardino uses a
hybrid system blending precinct voting with early voting
locations open only on the busiest days which cuts costs while
keeping access high and placing cameras on drop boxes |
|
Carolyn - Oral Re: Read
from a letter circulated to the public about Voters Choice Act
citing sections of the elections code |
|
Ilya Tseglin - Oral Re:
Interrupting his speech to prevent public from saying the
truth; has facts and proof of corruption of Orange County
administration; spending time coming to public meetings to
talk about kidnapping his son on basis of falsified
information from Director of Orange County Regional Center and
Director of Department of Development Services; stealing money
budget for profiteering |

Re: Voters want an election system that is secure, accessible
and budget friendly; consider all options for voters such as
San Bernardino's system |

Netty - Oral Re:
Elections can be better, more secure and cost effective like
San Bernardino's system |
|
Name not provided - Oral
Re: Change elections to a flexible transparent model that cuts
costs like San Bernardino's voting system while not being a
Voters Choice Act county, put all options on the table and
allow the voters to decide how to run our elections |
|
Linda - Oral Re:
Elections deserve a fresh approach with secure, accessible and
cost saving like San Bernardino's election model |

Stephanie B - Oral Re:
Need elections that best serve the citizens with the greatest
flexibility; differences in turn out between primary and
general elections; San Bernardino has a model that can be
adopted and should have that option; ballot received for
someone who does not live at her address; offered prayer for
the Board |
|
Steve Johnson - Oral Re:
Need to have confidence in the outcome of elections and
supports the adoption of San Bernardino election model |
|
Maryann - Oral Re: Half
of California counties still have traditional polling models
not under Voters Choice Act; San Bernardino's model seems to
give the most flexibility for voters and only opens vote
centers on peak days which saves money |
|
Pete - Oral Re:
Recognized Charlie Kirk's birthday; irregularities in election
process; Latino voters are afraid to speak up; why not present
all options and find best solutions that address concerns of
voters |
|
Lisa H - Oral Re: Data
from Registrar of Voters website on in-person ballots
returned; most secure way to vote is to take the ballot
received by mail in to a vote center to scan it in yourself;
most voting happens during the four days leading up to
election day so why open vote centers for ten days before
election; no choice but to follow SB450 but other Counties do
not; should consider other options and pros and cons of each
election model and adopt the right one for Orange County |
|
Linda Sheppard - Oral
Re: Collected 500 signatures of citizens against Voters Choice
Act (VCA); people want one day of in-person voting with voter
ID; ballot processing is inefficient, highly labor intensive
and costly; 24-hour cameras should be on all ballot boxes;
election costs increased since adoption of VCA |
|
Michelle M - Oral Re:
Neighboring county successfully implemented a hybrid voting
model offering flexibility and cost effective for secure
accessible elections |
|
Cheryl - Oral Re:
Ignored requests to put Voters Choice Act (VCA) on the agenda;
data shows election cost skyrocketed under VCA; effect on
participation shows decrease in participation; more
accessibility for in-person voting |
|
Victor - Oral Re: Direct
Registrar of Voters not to submit Voters Choice Act renewal
for another four years; removing the VCA will increase voter
options and save operational costs |
|
Urson Russell - Oral Re:
Registrar of Voters is on record saying we can have a precinct
model or a Voters Choice Act model with no other option; but
San Bernardino's model proves otherwise and can adjust from
election to election |
|
Bryan Kaye - Oral Re:
First Amendment is not just for us; speaking to help the Board
to not make mistakes; reporting a mistake and giving the
opportunity for the Board to fix it; in court and Deputy
District Attorney will not speak with him; prosecuting him for
he said - she said case |
|
Name not provided - Oral
Re: San Bernardino's hybrid model for running elections
complies with State law and ensures accessibility and security
with drop boxes, mail-in ballots, in-person voting on peak
days offering voters greater flexibility at lower cost; Board
should consider detailed analysis of the pros and cons of this
election model |
|
Esther - Oral Re:
Requests Board to team up on election model and it's time for
a change; thanked the Board for listening |
|
Sandy Hayashi - Oral Re:
Recommends San Bernardino's election methodology; consider
what ROV employees think about their thoughts on Voters Choice
Act and investigate the other options available |
|
Roseann - Oral Re:
Orange County Senator for New California State and soon to be
51st state; huge financial cliff for California is here; want
free, fair and auditable elections with no mail in ballots, no
drop boxes and no voting machines because the convenience is
how we got into this mess in the first place |
