Paging AL FRANKEN: Pulido Poised to Protest Polling

Cerritos City Council runner-up Mark Pulido is looking for more votes to close the gap between himself and the re-elected Councilwoman Carol Chen.

Chen, defeated Pulido on Tuesday by 130 votes.  He finished behind Chen in the Special Election in June 2008 by more than 900 votes. 

On Wednesday, Pulido submitted a list of demands to Cerritos City Clerk Josie Triggs which included a review of "rejected" ballots, a copy of the Cerritos City Charter and to request and "official delay" the certification of the election results.

Pulido said that if the matter is beyond the jurisdiction of the City Clerk, then he would like to meet with the Cerritos City Attorney.
My thoughts:  The election process is not yet completed, and it should be allowed to take it's course.  Let's let the City Clerk do her job, and THEN dispute the outcome if that is indeed in order.
