SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA (GaeaTimes.com)- The Secretary of State for California, Debra Bowen, announced just before the declaration of the results of the primary elections of the state of California that the vote counting process is going to be somewhat changed in this election, and that the Proposition 14, if it gets passed, would be strictly scrutinized and observed by a huge number of lawyers who would be exclusively hired for this purpose. The new vote counting techniques have been hugely approved of by the present Governor of the state, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, and also by Governor Abel Maldonado.

Both the Governors are of the opinion that the new voting techniques, if implemented, are likely to be much more efficient and clutter-free. Moreover, it is also being expected that the new voting measures proposed by the California Secretary of State Debra Bowen are likely to ensure that the voters get more and better opportunities to express their choices, which in turn would ensure that there is a better turnout of voters than usual. Moreover, it is being expected that the candidates would have to appeal to a broader number of the electorates, which would mean that the most moderate candidates are elected finally in the primary contests.

However, the Secretary of State of California, Debra Bowen, also said that the proposition is not going to be implemented in the case of the Presidential elections. However, although she supports the new system quite a lot, Debra Bowen also went on to say that she is well aware of the downsides of the same, saying that it would result in elongating the process of election.
