1. Historically, DCHD has verified the voter registration affiliation of all members to insure that the people participating in the club were Democrats, or prior to the Bylaws change in March, interested Independents. While there is some truth to the fact that DCHD just faced a difficult 6 months, in which the President resigned for personal reasons and the Secretary for health reasons, it has never been DCHD policy to allow non-Democrats to vote in DCHD elections, or to try to use LAVOTE.Net to verify voters. 2. There were several communications between the Executive Board of DCHD and the Nominating Committee prior to the election, and each time the use of Provisional Ballots for anyone who was a new member or whose party affiliation could not be ascertained was discussed as evidenced by both the Executive Board minutes and the Nominating Committee minutes already submitted to LACDP. The reason for the use of provisional ballots was clear, to insure that only registered Democrats participated in the DCHD Election. 3. There is nothing in the DCHD Bylaws that states that ballots must be signed. 4. The Membership committee was swamped by a van load of Non-Democrats that all entered the building at once. The 3rd person on the Page 1 Untitled membership form was an oversight, but it does not change the fact that the person in question did not qualify as a member in good standing. It is clearly printed on the membership form that only 2 people per household may join and qualify for a Household Membership. 5. Mr. Ervin never paid dues as evidenced by the Endorsement committee minutes from February 2010. The Committee's inside DCHD are that, Committee's. They are not Executive Board positions. During the time Mr. Ervin served with that committee he never even bothered to attend a Board meeting to get direction for the committee, rendering it inactive for the first time in 3 years. DCHD's long time Secretary, Patricia Correia was stricken ill last summer suddenly, and hospitalized for several months. DCHD as a club had no access to her records, which would include all minutes. It was not until DCHD had a copy of the Endorsement committee meeting that the discrepancy in both Mr. Ervin's statement to the Endorsement committee regarding his voter registration status at the committee meeting and his lack of actual dues paid was discovered. 6. Mr. Burdett's status was verified by the Registrar Recorder.
