Being Fired for Cause

The Registrar for Riverside County does it again: elections were Tuesday and there are still 28,000 provisional ballots not counted, as well as approximately 2000 mail-in ballots, one of which may be mine.

Would anyone else with such a dismal performance at a time when doing her job well really matters still be working for the county? Not!

UPDATING: She was fired yesterday, her department left with about 29,000 ballots left to count a full week after the election. She participated in a media interview and avowed that she's doing her job the best she can while operating within really difficult circumstances, but the Board of Supervisors responded: every other county in the STATE met the deadline -- except ours -- and this is 3 elections in a row with that dubious distinction.

Result: she's outta here. Finally.

Again? Yep, the person needs firing badly.
