The recent Field Poll findings from the country's most populous state are a clarion call for voting rights advocates to press election officials to be more transparent about the election process and in addressing the system's flaws.Lack of confidence in the vote count is split evenly between paper ballots and touch screen voting machines, however, those with most concern about election integrity are more skeptical about electronic systems. One out of every seven “likely voters” who vote every election and pay attention to politics do not believe their votes are being counted.
