Incorrect Ballots
The VNC ballot was incorrectly designed, leading to an overcount of 107 votes for Community Officer, out of 2,264 ballots cast for CO positions.  An overcount rate of 4.7% is extraordinarily high.  Moreover, the fact that the overcount rate for community officer was. 4.7%, while the overcount rate for general executive officers was one tenth of one percent makes it clear that the problem was incorrect ballot design.  
Since only sixteen votes separate the successful CO candidate with the lowest number of votes (69) and the next eight CO candidates.  With nearly five percent of the CO ballots not being tallied, there is a great likelihood that the VNC board’s composition would be substantially different but for the incorrect ballots.  Finally, the number of “overcount” ballots exceeds the difference in votes between the differential between the winning and the losing Community Interest Officer candidates.  
Further note:   DONE has refused to turn over the best evidence – the actual overcount ballots.  These ballots are now the subject of a request via the California Public Records Act. However, since they are already in DONE’s possession, they should be considered as part of the supporting information for this challenge.
A new election for all general community officers and the community interest officer.

When you bring additional fields into a conversion, Quickbase often finds inconsistencies. For example, say you're converting your Companies column into its own table. One company, Acme Corporation, has offices in New York, Dallas and Portland. So, when you add the City column to the conversion, Quickbase finds three different locations for Acme. A single value in the column you're converting can only match one value in any additional field. Quickbase needs you to clean up the extra cities before it can create your new table. To do so, you have one of two choices:

  • If you want to create three separate Acme records (Acme-New York, Acme-Dallas and Acme-Portland) click the Conform link at the top of the column.
  • If the dissimilar entries are mistakes (say Acme only has one office in New York and the other locations are data-entry errors) go back into your table and correct the inconsistencies—in this case, changing all locations to New York. Then try the conversion again.
