Beverly Hills industrialist Joseph L. Alperson says he is spearheading a serious drive for Gov. Edmund G Brown as the Democratic Party’s vice presidential nominee. He notes Goldwater forces are strong in California and Brown has beaten top Republicans in past races, while acknowledging Brown has no knowledge of this campaign.

Vote Machine Search Goes On
Sacramento California continued its search for a versatile voting machine to handle the state's long ballot and low cost. The State Commission of Voting Machines and Vote tabulating Devices studied a suitcase sized computer card machine costing about 400 dollars. The commission explored the Votemaster Station System by Bernielius General Co. of San Diego. Frank Mesplé urged legislature funding for field tests. The 28 pound Votemaster uses a card system processed by a computer, with a rotating ballot drum showing 16 up to 3M candidates across 15 columns. Voters receive an IBM style card at the polling place, insert it, point to a candidate, pull the handle, and the vote is recorded on the card for central counting. Earlier tests showed 143 choices with 400 cards could not be counted in under two minutes, leading to approval of the Jarvis Volumatic for use in elections.
