YouTube Description
as posted by the channelBilly Bush sits down with Dean Logan, LA County's Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk, for a rare inside look at how elections actually get counted — and the 2004 Washington governor's race that almost ended his career before it brought him to LA.
Logan was the King County election official at the center of the closest governor's race in U.S. history, decided by just 42 votes after he discovered hundreds of wrongly rejected ballots and went public about the error — a call that flipped the race and got him publicly censured by his own county council. Two decades later, he's running elections for the largest county in the country.
Billy presses him on accountability, why LA County built its own publicly-owned voting system, and whether the same critics who call election officials "fall guys" are the reason qualified people stop wanting the job.
