Obama says he’s “outraged” by Jeremiah Wright’s comments. Here’s the transcript from his latest (4/29) Q&A with reporters.

You may have noticed the name change. We’re now Election Countdown.

My vote in the presidential primary won’t count. (See back story)

Although I held on to my ballot receipt, it won’t do me any good. The
person in the Election Planning department said there’s no way to match
my receipt to my actual ballot. Apparently, the number on the receipt
refers to the ballot pad or the ballot box, not to any actual ballot
serial number. The county can’t and won’t be looking up these
non-double bubble ballots.

If this is also you, call (562) 462-2113. If you get a different explanation, let me know.

UPDATE: According to the Registrar’s office, 189,438 nonpartisan voters participated in yesterday’s election. I wonder how many of those votes won’t count.

Reporter Dan wants reminds me that the group Courage Campaign is taking this issue very seriously. They’re taking names and numbers. The web site, http://www.couragecampaign.org/,
is supposed to have a field where you can put your info up sometime
this afternoon, and you can also email them at info@couragecampaign.org.

What a mess!

Yes, I am one of those voters involved in this double bubble fiasco. I didn’t know or notice that I had to fill in an extra bubble as a decline-to-state voter voting in the Democratic election.

Following Dan’s advice, When I called Courageous Citizens, a woman said the group would be filing a lawsuit, but I had to call the County Registrar’s office myself. She gave me the number: 1 (800) 815-2666. Go to Election Information (Option 5).

When I called, I was on hold for several minutes. Finally a man picked up and told me I had to be transferred to “Polls.” Their number is (562) 462-2509.

After I am transferred, a woman in that department said she didn’t know anything about this “other bubble” that everyone was talking about. She wanted to transfer me back to Election Information, but I told that I already went there.

Transferred again.

Election Planning department. The woman who answered the phone took my name but said this wasn’t the right department to call. She wanted to transfer me to Election Information, but I told her I already spoke to someone there. She put me on hold while she talked to her supervisor.

When she got back on the line, she asked for my phone number. She promised me that her supervisor, Maria Alfonso, would call me back.

I’m waiting.

Ace reporter Fred Ortega is at the County Reigstrar-Recorder’s office and called in these numbers. We’ll should have more city-by-city results later today.

Hillary Clinton’s stop at Cal State LA this weekend also drew a bunch of celebrities, including Magic Johnson, Sally Field, Antonio Villaraigosa and America Ferrera. Story here. Photos here.

Also … Mitt Romney will be in Long Beach tonight.

About 1,000 Obama supporters went to rally at East LA last week. Obama wasn’t there, but Ted Kennedy was.
