SACRAMENTO (UPIl - Voting
officials in five of the state's 13i
most heavily populated counties
say there has been a small hut
noticeable increase in voter
switches from Democratic to Re
publican, possibly because of a
plea by former Gov. Goodwin J.
Knight.
A United Press International
poll of voting officials in the 13
counties revealed this today.
Knight, an announced candidate
for the GOP nomination for gov-l
ernor against former Vice Presi
dent Richard M. Nixon, made this
appeal in a statewide television
appearance last Sept. 27:
"To Democrats. 1 say this. . .If
you want to vote against Nixon,
register just for a day as a Re
publican and vote for me in the
primary next June.
Nixon supporters discounted the
significance of the registration
switches. They pointed out a re
cent public opinion poll 'The Field:
. Poll t showed Nixon with 77 peri
'cent of the GOP voters and
Knight with 12 per cent.
Knight said that "since cross
filing has been abolished, many
thousands of Democrats who do
not favor Gov. Brown or Mr.
Nixon are trapped and cannot
vote against Brown or Nixon
unless they register as Republi
cans before April 12. lflfil. 1 think
many Democrats and Republi
cans will approve this freedom of
choice."
Ben Hite. Los Angeles County
reeistrar of voters, said "there is
a definite swing going now. but
just how significant it might be is
still doubttuL."
Hite, whose county has just over!
40 per cent of California's voters,
said a two-day spot check on
Oct. 6 and Oct. 9 showed that 8.2
per cent of all voter registrations!
were switches from Democratic io
Republican.
On Oct. 6. he said, 577 persons'
registered to vote and 41 of these
were switches. On Oct. 9, 53 of
5R7 registrants changed.
Voting officials in San Ber
nardino, Riverside, San Joaquin
and Sacramento counties also
said they noticed an increase in
voter changes from Democratic to
Republican.
Riverside Registrar C. W
Hodges said a spot check of 100
registrations in the first week
after Knight's Sept. 27 broadcast!
showed "about half" of them were;"
changing their affiliation, "but
since that time, there's been noij
signitieant cnange mat we can
see."
San Bernardino official Eleanor
Felton said that following Knight's
plea she received a number of
telephone calls from Democrats
asking if they could write Knight's
name on the Democratic ballot.
She said she "told them 'no' of
course, because that would
amount to cross filing." which
has been repealed in California.
She said a "quick check" of 1,000'
registration affidavits on hand
showed that 3 in that group had
switched from Democrat to Rc
publican.
In San Joaquin County, voting!
official Cliff Rromme said 12
Democrats and one Republican
switched registration m Septem
ber. Sacramento County Clerk C. C
LaRue said 50 Democrats in. his
county switched affiliation in one
week. He said the changes have
been "a few more than normal.
The only thing I can attribute it
to is Knight's suggestion.
Spokesmen in Orange. Fresno,
Kern, San Diego. San Mateo,
Contra Costa. Alameda and San
Francisco counties said either
. that there had been no noticeable
change in voter switches or that
they had no indication at all
