More Election issue in WA State. This has passed the point of being incompetent, it has not become criminal. Where are the Feds and the DA?

[WideGlide]

old news??? you bet your Howard.

Who's running elections these days? Huey, Duey, and Louie?

[eureka!]

"The county has a "ballot-on-demand" system that allows workers to print additional ballots in the elections office and at the mail ballot satellite office. Logan said probably less than a dozen people have access to the machines and that the system is password-protected. But he said there is not a "specific inventory of the number of ballots that are produced on the ballot-on-demand system.""

Amazing. I am speechless....

"...saying there was neglect in the handling of some ballots but not any misconduct."

If neglect is not misconduct, then what is it? He repeatedly admits to not following proper proceedures but adamantly insists he's blameless. People get sued for negligence every day, but somehow he and his staff are blameless?

Clinton: "Depends on what the meaning of 'is' is."

Rather: "Fake but accurate."

Logan: "Negligence but not misconduct."

Then there's Sandy Berger's lame excuses about how those documents he stole and destroyed got into his socks. These people are no different from the street corner weasels cops interrogate at their station houses every day.

sounds like the dems stole this one

Sheesh, give it up already. Bush will be sitting in a rocking chair at age 90 and these poor losers will still be contesting the election.

Move on with your lives.

Remember folks this is the blue print for Hillary in 2008.

[Congressman Billybob]

Based on the answers in this deposition, just looking at the sloppiness in King County alone, there is no way that the trial court can honestly avoid the conclusion that the outcome of the gubernatorial election is known. And given the provisions of Washington State law that have been previously posted on FR, that means the court should order a new election held.

Now, judges have been known to ignore both the law and the facts. So the honest result may not be the actual result. However, the tide of incompetence (corruption?) by Democrat politicians is so bad and so odoriferous that a number of Repubicans should ride that tide to victory at levels from local to federal offices.

Latest column, "Double Crossing at the Rio Grande II."

This is some pretty damning testimony, with the court challenge, I believe the election results will be invalidated.

Everyone should look, this is the face of the Democrat Party. If you don't think it can happen in your state, you are naive.

[goodnesswins]

You are NEW here, aren't you? You obviously KNOW LITTLE about THIS situation.

[Bonaparte]

"Huey, Duey, and Louie?"

It's not incompetence. That's just Logan copping to a "lesser plea." It's criminality aka election fraud.

[Bob]

Move on with your lives.

Yeah, no biggie. An election got stolen by fraud, so what? It's not like it hasn't been done before and it'll probably keep happening. Why would anybody be concerned about something so trivial?

</sarcasm> (as if it's needed)

"Remember folks this is the blue print for Hillary in 2008."

And we can thank Republicans for allowing Dems to set this precedent in recent elections....WI should have been in Bush's column.

There's more. Polling inspectors were allowed to take blank ballots home the weekend before the election. They were told to destroy whatever was not used. The blank ballots taken by inspectors were never accounted for.

Of all the counties in Washington State, the bluest is King County and they are the only ones that do not track and account for their ballots. All other counties have been looked at and all except Pierce County (largest city is Tacoma and is also blue) have agreed that King County is an out-of-control mess.

King County was also the county that reported last in 2000 during the Gorton(R) vs. Cantwell(D) US senator race. That absentee count went on for two weeks after the election with Gorton maintaining the lead until the last day when suddenly a couple of thousand of absentee votes put Cantwell over the top. The same pattern existed then as now.

"Sheesh, give it up already. Bush will be sitting in a rocking chair at age 90 and these poor losers will still be contesting the election."

That's just what the democrats were saying in November of 2000. Had the Republicans followed your advice back then, Al Gore would have been in the White House. You don't just let somebody steal an election from you.

[eureka!]

*shaking head in amazement* King County makes the Florida 'rats look like pikers. Best of luck....

I am telling the Democrats are now Socialist, and today's Republicans are like Democrats 25 years ago. It makes me sick. The Republicans are scared. It drives me crazy.
