In November 1988, Sancho was elected to his first term as the Supervisor of Elections
for Leon County, Florida. He ran and was re-elected in 1992, 1996, 2000, and 2004,
serving his fifth term as of January 2, 2005. He was unopposed in each election since 1992.


In the 2000 presidential recount, Sancho (No Party Affiliation) was chosen to lead the
Florida hand count of ballots in dispute in Miami-Dade County. The U.S. Supreme Court
stopped the hand count in a 7-2 vote just as it got underway. Later the Court ruled 5–4
that no constitutionally valid recount could be completed by a December 12 "safe harbor"
deadline.


In 2005, Sancho invited Bev Harris, founder of Black Box VotingKathleen Wynne,
Black Box Voting Associate Director, Harri Hursti, computer programmer and security
expert, Dr. Hugh Thompson, application security expert and Ph.D. in math, Susan Bernecker,
former Republican candidate for New Orleans city council and Susan Pynchon, Director of
Florida Fair Elections Coalition to Tallahassee. There, they performed what is now known
as the Hursti Hack which became the center piece of an HBO documentary titled

Most recently, he is prominently featured in an ominously fascinating HBO documentary
about cyber-manipulation of elections. Sancho not only conducted clean balloting locally,
in an era when Florida elections were a staple of monologues of late-night TV comics but
was nationally recognized as an expert on complex computer systems needed for reliable
tallies.

The HBO special is titled “Kill Chain: The Cyber War on America’s Elections,”

The producers thought this information was so important to the public, after the HBO
screening, they made it available for free on YouTube. It is must watch video.

We encourage all members to attend this Zoom meeting. Here is a tutorial about Zoom.
