Mystery Revealed: Why there were more votes than voters (in Seattle)

Why did the numbers make it appear that King County counted more votes than voters last November?

If you listen to Dean Logan, it was because of "human error during the crediting process and when voters sign the poll books".

If you read the report from the fraudulent audit that cost the County Council $300,000 and whose only research apparently consisted of asking Dean Logan to fill in the blanks, the only explanation is human error during the crediting process. At least the audit report proposes an explanation for the error: "Space limitations made it difficult for staff to determine whether their hand-wanding devices were properly activated (e.g., hear a “beep”)" [p. 82]. Implied solution: build a new multi-billion dollar elections facility!

But there were other reasons why the numbers appeared to show that King County counted more votes than voters last November: For example, they counted more votes than there were voters.

One way this happened was by counting both an absentee and a provisional from the same voter. Here again is one example of many. More on this later.

Here's another good one I discovered down at the Archives today. In just one randomly selected box of counted provisional envelopes (last names starting with "L"), I found 3 envelopes from people who were not registered at all, but were assigned to precinct 1823 and their ballots were tabulated!

Given that the box contained 1,400 envelopes out of a total 28,000 provisionals counted, a simple extrapolation predicts that about 60 such bogus provisional ballots were counted. That could help explain why there were 111 provisional ballots tabulated in precinct 1823, but only 45 voters credited.

Evergreen State ping

FReepmail sionnsar if you want on or off this ping list.

Ping sionnsar if you see a Washington state related thread.

Yep, Democrat fraud had nothing to do with it...

[Fido969]

What was the margin in that election again?

[Not A Snowbird]

King county gets weirder and weirder.

"Human error" must be the reason there were double votes in the September 05 Primary I guess as well. As will it be in this November's General election. Look in the dictionary under the word corrupt, and you see the definition, "King County"

We need to do what they did in Tennessee a few years ago, circle the administrative building with honking cars and people sitting down blocking sidewalks and entrances with civil disobedience.

Won't happen however, in King County until the administration starts tinkering with the homegrown & BC bud and boutique coffee drinks.

You'll see rioting in the streets if that ever happens.

I think about 150 or so.....AFTER two other counts that had Rossi as the winner.

[rockrr]

Actually, the differential was 42 votes.

After the two automatic re-tallies, and the suspect "recount" (where they magically discovered scores of ballots) it ended up at 129.

Hugh Hewitt sez; "If it ain't close, they can't cheat"!

[uncitizen]

Somebody forgot to tell those poll attendants not to stuff the ballot box too much.

[Question_Assumptions]

Could this sort of thing be challenged at a Federal level based upon Constitutional guarantees of a republican form of governments at the state level? Election fraud fundamentally undermines any democratic or republican form of government, does it not?

[Just Lori]

And the powers that be in this state want all mail voting. Yeah. That'll fix it. /s

Remind me of where Ron Sims does his banking as this is definately NOT a record of accuracy that a bank would be proud of, no matter what Mr. Sims says.

This is the kind and gentlemanly explanation. The real explanation is that rat scum bags cheated and did so without having to answer to anyone. I fear that the lesson has not been learned out there, but I hope I'm wrong.

"Yep, Democrat fraud had nothing to do with it..."

But all I ever hear about is Republican voter fraud!!?

I don't get it!!!

Is it possible the MSM is party to a Democratic conspiracy?

Say it ain't so, Joe!!

"Actually, the differential was 42 votes. After the two automatic re-tallies, and the suspect "recount" (where they magically discovered scores of ballots) it ended up at 129."

After it took 2 recounts to get the outcome they had predetermined, the Democrats responded to a call by Republicans for a third recounts "ludicrous".

It's always "ludicrous" when a result it the one they want, but "fraud" or "voter intimidation" when it's not.
