It's been exactly two weeks since the Super Tuesday primaries across the country and here in California. In those two weeks, the Courage Campaign has used your support to insist that the Los Angeles County Registrar count all the double bubble ballots properly. And on Friday morning, Rick Jacobs delivered your voices in petition form to Registrar Dean Logan. But the fight continues.
Get the dish from Rick Jacobs on the flip.

That's how many of your petitions I delivered on Friday morning to Dean Logan, the Los Angeles County Registrar, with one simple request: "Count Every Vote" cast by "Decline-to-State" voters for Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton on Super Tuesday.
Yesterday, an excellent Los Angeles Times front-page article chronicled the controversial story behind the "double bubble trouble" -- and it goes back to 2002, believe it or not.
We told you on Thursday that we needed your financial support to continue to wage this campaign and proceed with a lawsuit against the Registrar, if necessary. Now, heartened by your generosity, we are pressing on to make sure every vote is counted.
Thanks to you, Dean Logan is listening. Unfortunately, the longer this stretches out, the higher our legal bills become. That's why we still need your help to make sure every vote for Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama is counted.
Click here to watch a brief video showing your petitions being delivered on Friday, including excerpts of interviews I did with KTLA and Fox 11 News. Then contribute what you can afford so we can continue to pressure Dean Logan to count every vote. Please also consider giving a tip to our friends at ActBlue:

As noted in the Times article below, our legal team uncovered the "double bubble" ballot flaw the weekend before Super Tuesday. Now, with only two weeks remaining before the election is certified, our lawyers are continuing to press Dean Logan to make sure every vote that can be counted... is counted.
