City Attorney admits decision is "contrary to both public policy and common sense.”
4/13: (San Francisco) – Four people – including a Green Party congressional candidate – were arrested after a dramatic sit-in at the Department of Elections at City Hall late yesterday afternoon. All were cited and released. About two dozen demonstrators entered the Elections Office at about 4:30 p.m. Monday to protest ballot-counting irregularities during the March vote.
Terry Baum, a write-in candidate for Congress (8th District) on the Green Party ballot in March, was among those being arrested. Others include voters who said their votes were not counted in March.
Baum had apparently won her party's nomination in March – but then lost it when the city decertified hundreds of votes that it had previously counted. Photos 1 | Reportback 1
