I don't agree with Rad_J. Ballots that are found are checked against voter rolls, signatures are checked, and they check whether the voter voted already, before any "found" ballot is used. It's not some game.
And if Democrats are so partisan that they are only looking in King County for ballots (where most of the voters are, by the way), they would not have filed suit with the Supreme Court to have ALL ballots in ALL counties re-examined for validity under a single standard.
Here's the deal: either all counties must subject ballots to a single standard (which the SC rejected), or King County can decide as the arbiter of its own election rules (which it is) to re-examine its own ballots. You can't have it both ways.
Well, gee. I hope the people who voted with those 22 newly-found ones were kind enough to sign their names on them...
Oh, and welcome to Free Republic. Hope your first day here is as nice as mine was.
I understand that and agree with what you posted. What specifically did you disagree with? All I am saying is that if they are verified and have been secure since election day then they should count. If they have been unsecured for any amount of time like the 22 found absentee and non-absentee ballots, then they shouldn't be counted. Absentee ballots are not tamper proof or fraud proof.
I know nothing of Washington laws and procedures. I was arguing logic, and using the little I know about these ballots as an example. I understood Politicalities argument to be that ballots should be counted until proven invalid and my argument is that ballots should not be counted until proven valid or verified. This applies to any election.
