Tom has shot several hundred hours of video of a multitude of elections, voting events, meetings of the Board of Supervisors discussing voting issues, and has used these to demonstrate the recurring violations of election law and general confrontive attitude of the Registrar of Voters (ROV) and her staff. His group has forced the creation of the Election Observer Panel (EOP) whose purpose is to observe all aspects of any election as required in CA but generally ignored by many of the 58 counties,. He also forced the posting of precinct results at the precincts, another law typically ignored by most counties. The actions of SAVE R VOTE have been so effective that the BOS appointed a hand-picked Blue Ribbon Elections Review Committee (ERC) to review the ROV operations and report back. When the ERC recommended ditching most of the 3,700 DRE touchscreens, the BOS immediately formed another committee to look at the findings of the ER committee and report back in two months, likely too late to implement for the February 2008 presidential primary.
