Oakland Alameda Registrar Ranked Choice Voting Problem Timeline Of Events
.
In this Oakland Alameda Registrar Ranked Choice Voting Problem we now have a lot of cooks trying to push each other out of the way to get into the kitchen, and in the process litterally forgetting that voters exist. So, how did we really get here? Given that I am the one who first pointed to the problem with the Ranked Choice Voting software Alameda County employs, I made a timeline of events.
The (as I will call it) Oakland Alameda Registrar Ranked Choice Voting Problem started with yours truly discovering a vote-sharing pattern such that the same percentage of votes (59.5 percent) transferred from Alyssa Victory to Sheng Thao with each new count of votes. Again, one should expect different percentages with each new count of votes, averaging 59.5 percent, but the same percent each day points to the existence of an arfiticial influncer: a machine. I first noticed the percentage on November 17, 2022, and then shared my observations (saying the outcome was “fishy”and calling for a recount) in this vlog (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HcYvHB3L2Zs) that was dated November 18th 2022.
On November 23rd, I called on Alameda County Registrar Tim Dupuis to show the actual ranked choice voting algorythm used for the 2022 November 8th Election (here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vGnkOQa4KzU&feature=youtu.be)
Note, that was far earlier than Sean Dugar, who later came on my show and expressed support for the outcome where Sheng Thao won, even as I explained what I found to him (interview here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RpZMDwYHvt4) on December 3, 2022.
Then, when I took my observation to Alameda County Registrar Tim Dupuis during our 98 minute interview (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZHO6bc-bBY&t=3376s) he agreed that it was an “anomaly” that should be looked at. That was December 15th 2022.
Prior to my interview with Sean, a number of groups, led by the Oakland NAACP, wanted a vote recount simply because of Sheng Thao’s margin of victory. On December 17th, I learned that Tim Dupuis told the NAACP and other groups that $21,000 was needed to start the voter recount process. He said he gave them five days notice but the NAACP told me they were given less than 24 hours to get the money.
Then a turn of events started a different path, and this one involving Tim Dupuis, Sean Dugar and FairVote. 12 days from my interview with him, Tim Dupuis issued a press release announcing that a problem was found in the original ranked choice voting process algorhtym. But rather than point to the problem I found, he said it was brought to his attention, but did not explain by who. Then, a few days later and into next week, word got a around that Sean Dugar said he discovered the problem. Consider that two weeks before then, Sean didn’t believe there was a problem. Then, when I pushed what I found to Tim, suddenly, after a few days delay, Sean came up with his own explaination.
I think the real truth is the actual result is such that the election was severely altered by changes in the ranked choice voting algorthm, but we’re not allowed to see what actually happened. This feels like a fix and I state that because of the rapid way Sean Dugar and others changed their stance on the need to a recount. Moreover, they push the idea that ranked choice voting itself must be retained, but don’t bother to consider the real problem: the way ranked choice voting is done. As Tim said in his interview with me, the algorythm is a simulation of the vote and not the actual vote.
That means there’s a difference and we saw that there are more variations of that vote. Now consider that we’re only presented with one of them, and each scenario is done without regard for the one-person-one-vote rule. Now, it’s one person and maybe your vote gets counted depending on how the program is ran.
That’s not democracy. That’s electronic voter disenfranchisement.
Stay tuned.

Note from Zennie62Media and OaklandNewsNow.com : this video-blog post demonstrates the full and live operation of the latest updated version of an experimental Zennie62Media , Inc. mobile media video-blogging system network that was launched June 2018. This is a major part of Zennie62Media , Inc.’s new and innovative approach to the production of news media. What we call “The Third Wave of Media”. The uploaded video is from a YouTube channel. When the video is “liked” by Zennie62 YouTube, then it is automatically uploaded to and formatted automatically at the Oakland News Now site and Zennie62-created and owned social media pages. The overall objective here, on top of our is smartphone-enabled, real-time, on the scene reporting of news, interviews, observations, and happenings anywhere in the World and within seconds and not hours – is the use of the existing YouTube social graph on any subject in the World. Now, news is reported with a smartphone and also by promoting current content on YouTube: no heavy and expensive cameras or even a laptop are necessary, or having a camera crew to shoot what is already on YouTube. The secondary objective is faster, and very inexpensive media content news production and distribution. We have found there is a disconnect between post length and time to product and revenue generated. With this, the problem is far less, though by no means solved. Zennie62Media is constantly working to improve the system network coding and seeks interested content and media technology partners.
