It's interesting that the City and County both contemplated write-in candidacies being legal in the General Election of November 6,2007 before I announced my intent to run as a write-in candidate, and that as soon as I said I'd run as a write-in, both the City and County officials changed their legal opinions. Hmmm. What would a tried of fact think about that sudden change of perspective, I wonder? I demand that (1) both the City and County immediately, unequivocally and publicly state, in writing, that write-in candidacies for Riverside City Council seats are allowed in the General Election of November 6,2007, (2) the official ballots given to the voters provide the proper spaces on which write-in candidates' names can be entered by any voter who chooses to do so, (3) the instructions to voters fully comply with the applicable state law in terms of telling voters how they may write in the name of a candidate for whom they wish to vote, and (4) the Registrar of Voters fully comply with all other applicable laws, including the laws that require her to count and register write-in votes. Sincerely, ~;? -- />>l:?--a _/7 /:J L /r~.?'(\ Letitia E. Pepper cc: Mayor City Council City Manager City Attorney
