Short Bio

Ray Lutz, born in southern California founded "Citizens' Oversight Projects" (COPs) to empower citizens to provide oversight over our democracy.

With Masters of Science degree in electronics engineering from SDSU, he specialized in the office equipment industry, founding the Multifunction Products Association (MFPA) and drafting national and international standards, including a role as technical liaison to the United Nations sponsored International Telecommunications Union (ITU). More recently, Lutz has developed a number of products for the biofeedback and neurofeedback industry to provide drug-free treatment for ADHD, PTSD, and Autism patients, among others. Most recently (2008-present) Ray has been involved in election integrity issues, including a recent successful election audit fraud lawsuit against San Diego County. Also, Ray has been an intervenor at the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) regarding the shutdown of the San Onofre Nuclear Generation Station (SONGS), how the $3.3 billion plant shut-down costs would be distributed, and to stop the proposed nuclear waste dump in the area.

As of 2019, Lutz directed COPS to focus on the development of Audit Engine, a ballot image auditing platform that runs in the cloud, harnessing the power of up to 10,000 virtual machines running in parallel to fully retabulate election results based on the official ballot images, including OCR (optical character recognition) of voter-verifiable text on summary cards printed by Ballot Marking Devices (BMDs) and therefore avoiding unverifiable barcodes. These results can be compared on a ballot-by-ballot basis with the

Ray and his wife reside near Mt. Helix in the unincorporated San Diego county area, and have two grown sons that reside currently in California.
