This is from a MP-I article on dead voters:

Bob Holmgren said yesterday that he voted on behalf of his late wife, Charlette Holmgren, who died Sept. 29. The West Seattle man filled out his own ballot and hers, and signed both of them.

"Her vote was important to her," Holmgren said. "She was very strongly against Governor-elect Gregoire." Election officials said all signatures on absentee ballots were doubled-checked against the signature on record.

I don't claim that Republicans are saints who would never, ever, ever cheat, but this guy sure talks like a Democrat.

You are right. No Republican would call her "Governor-elect Gregoire". If they didn't give her a derisive nickname, they would just call her "Gregoire". What do you want to bet that Robert Holmgren just happens to be a Democrat activist?

This is so transparent. Why Republicans are in on this too! Any coincidence that their main example is a Republican? I don't care if he gave $2000 to Bush (he didn't, nor did his wife give a dime to anybody) he forged her signature and knew what he was doing. Felony + 1 year in jail.

• The case of Holmgren I find suspicious as I said above.
• There is no doubt in my mind the Kinnunes are Democrats because the article doesn't mention it.
• The cases of Johnsen and Jones seem to just be polling mistakes as the person who apparently cast the vote is not credited for voting but the dead person was.
• This Zemko woman, follow this:

  In other cases, people cast ballots in the name of dead relatives. Maxine A. Zemko of Seattle said she has been voting under the name of Maxine M. Zemko — her mother — since her mother's death in 1983. That year, according to the younger Zemko, King County elections workers mistakenly erased her from the voter rolls instead of her deceased mother. As an additional complication, Maxine A. Zemko bought her mother's house, so both Maxine Zemkos shared an address. And as her mother would have, Maxine A. Zemko said, she voted for Christine Gregoire.

  Ignoring the fact that it's a huge non-sequitur, her mother's been dead over 20 years! How would she know what her mom would have wanted? Why would she vote in her mother's name and not her own for 20 years?
• I'd love to know what Vernon Witte's belief that his wife's ballot was stolen was. Somebody knew/had her signature. Anne gave $340 to the RNC in 2000.
• Marcia Pettersen (who works for a school district) gave $500 to Kerry. They didn't give her any affiliation (naturally).
• I found an obituary on John Fey. Nothing funny going on there.

It's funny that the paper finds a "republican" who helped his dead wife vote for Rossi. I'm guessing that they are trying to deflect from the massive democratic dead who voted by saying that "republicans do it too."

I'm not familiar with the Seattle paper, but here in KC the paper is as liberal a rag as you will find.
