Because of problems with the Secretary of State's online campaign filling system, candidates will have until the end of the day today to file the reports that were due Monday, the office says.

Although improvements have been made, problems with the system have long plagued the Secretary of State's Office and caused wrath from the Legislature. So it's frustrating to find that the system is still slow, still difficult to use.

My guess is thess problems won't slide under the radar screen this time. Expect questions of Secretary of State Mary Herrera from lawmakers in the coming days about the system.
