Adviser quits in vote tampering scandal at California school

(AP) — Students at a Southern California high school got a lesson in political corruption after it was revealed that a faculty adviser rigged the election for class president and two other races.

In an email last week to parents, the principal of Vista Murrieta High said the company that handled ballot counting confirmed fraudulent votes made online changed the outcome of elections for 2019 president, 2019 secretary and 2018 president.

The newspaper reported that a parent helped uncover the discrepancies after getting information showing results that included the time a vote was cast and the IP address used to access the voting company's website.
