Pamela Barnett
2541 Warrego Way
Sacramento. CA 95826

Dear Ms. Barnett:

We are responding to your recent faxed complaint questioning the eligibility of Secretary
of State candidate Damon Dunn to be on the ballot.

You questioned Mr. Dunn's eligibility to run based on the conditions set forth in
Elections Code 8001(a)(2). This section requires a candidate to not have been
registered with any party except the one heishe seeks to be nominated from, within the
preceding 12 months. The conflicting party evidence you cited was that Mr. Dunn was
previously registered as a Democrat in the state of Florida. However, we contacted the
office of the Duval County Supervisor of Elections and they reported that Mr. Dunn
registered as a Democrat in 1999, but never voted. His Florida registration was
subsequently cancelled in June 2005. Therefore, in March 2009, when Mr. Dunn
registered as a Republican, he was not currently registered with any state and not
affiliated with any party, in compliance with EC 8001(a)(2).

You also questioned Mr. Dunn's failure to list his previous Florida registration on his
March 2009 California voter registration. While Elections Code 2150 (a)(10) requires
those registering to vote to disclose any prior registration, there are no criminal
sanctions for non-compliance. If you have evidence that this omission was intentional,
please forward to our office.

Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention

Sincerely,

Election Fraud Investigation Unit
