Expressing frustration with the decertification of Los Angeles County's voting system, Registrar-Recorder Conny McCormack said Tuesday she will retire at the end of the year.Troy Anderson in the Daily News.

McCormack, who has been in public service for 30 years and run county elections for the last 12, said she decided to retire for several reasons, including frustration with what she believes are unwarranted concerns about the vulnerability of election systems to hacking and tampering.

"My mission has been to expand voter services, and I don't want to preside over the dismantling of popular voting services," she said.
