More questions swirl around how Alameda County might have muddled its ranked choice elections.
OAKLAND — The ongoing dispute over Oakland’s November school board election has opened a floodgate of questions about how Alameda County conducted its ranked choice voting system, and officials so far have no quick or easy answers.
But the Dominion Voting Systems election software used by Alameda County did, in fact, allow for ballots to include 10 choices, according to Registrar of Voters Tim Dupuis. It’s also not clear if the results in Thao’s race would have been different if voters had chosen from among the 10 candidates, and it does not appear likely that her close win will be subject to a recount, despite calls from county supervisors for one.
Additional questions involving that race need to be cleared up. For instance, the race included three candidates, but voters were given five columns on their ballots — excess space that may have contributed to the snafu.
