"Voter registrars in three counties maintain that they conducted operations properly despite allegations by congressional candidate David Harmer that they mishandled the vote count after the Nov. 2 election.
A pro bono attorney volunteering for Harmer said in an e-mail that Harmer lost to Rep. Jerry McNerney, D-Pleasanton, due to improprieties in Alameda, Santa Clara and possibly Contra Costa counties. The 11th Congressional District includes the Lodi area."
