Auditing problems
Things don't add up
More votes than voters
Votes show up in precincts with no registered votes
Precincts results don't match central tabulator data
Absentee votes co-mingled with polling place votes so you can't see which are which
Precincts are missing
* California does not permit secret tape recording. It is a "two party consent state," meaning it requires the consent of both parties to take an audio recording. This is not necessarily true in a public space, such as the public area in an elections office. In these places it is generally assumed that anyone can hear what's going on and there is not necessarily any enforceable right to privacy in such settings.
There is no such prohibition against taking video without the audio. You can videotape to your heart's content in public places, except that you cannot videotape people's vote in a way that attaches it to the person who voted.
There is no prohibition against taking photographs. Many cameras that take digital photos also take Web quality video with audio. For options on equipment, click here:
