San Diego's registrar to retire

Sally McPherson, registrar of voters for San Diego County, announced last week that she will retire effective March 17. This brings to five the number of California registrars that have resigned or retired after purchasing paperless, electronic voting systems. Other registrars who left their posts after the equipment acquisition include Scott Konopasek (San Bernardino), Mischelle Townsend (Riverside), Laura Winslow (Solano), and Ann Reed (Shasta).
