The Saga Continues...

The election mess that King County (Washington State) had last year is still not resolved. Stephan Sharkansky over at Sound Politics has been noting many discrepancies. Here is a link to their archives page showing two posts regarding double voting and mistaken identities (scroll down to see the posts). He has had many other posts with very detailed information. He is the most accurate source when it comes to Washington State election oversight.

All of the errors that have occured deal with either mail-in ballots or provisional ballots. Federal law mandates provisional ballots and the popular trend is towards mail-in ballots. Both are hard to change, Federal law and public preferences. But something must be done to eliminate the errors. If the elections officials cannot even follow their own rules, then we must consider eliminating all mail-in and provisional ballots and institute a 100% in-person voting system.

What ticks me off is - How long has this all been happening? And how else would we have found out about these problems if it weren't for a blogger? Shame on the news media and shame on King Co. for electing 'Democrats' who don't live up to their name.
