Ping.
Perhaps it is because he believes the lie that the majority of those serving in the military are poor minorities?
This country needs to do a better job of making sure that military votes are counted....
He gets points for not being hypocritical, then. (Unless he's only concerned about black military personnel.)
I think this is a serious violation of the National Voting Rights Act and the Voter Registration Act. Any Experts out there?
If you want every military vote to count...then simply pass a law that says a county vote handler risks five years in prison if they refuse a military ballot. Its that simmple. The miltary would gladly hire 20 lawyers to press cases against every county that wants to tangle with its folks. And add a $10k fine for the county itself if they can't rationally explain why they tossed military ballots.
I'm tired of the congressional lack of effort. Its time to burn some folks and send them off to state jail if they can't do their job.
Democrats NEVER want to count the military votes. They will always look for a way to avoid/delay/misfile/ignore them.
BTTT These are the kinds of names & stories we need of disenfranchisement for the legal challenge. I will email to the Rossi campaign just to be sure it doesn't fall through the cracks.
Well, hello everybody! Glad to see you all made it through
Christmas.
This is Recall who thanks to Publius and others who pinged me watched the theft of the governors office in Washington State from Alexandria VA.
I guess there has always been cheaters in elections but this was so transparent, in your face, and the attitude of screw you we will just steal it and theres nothing you can do astonds me.
Where do you go from here. I saw posts at one time how if elected she won't be able to get anything done. I hope that is true.
I don't know how to turn your rage into action or if there is
an avenue not blocked by the Democrats. You may have to wait until the next election and be ever so prepared for every devious trick known to man.
I was wondering if a stolen vote is cause for a cival suit? If so it would justify a revisit by a court to certain ballots.
It's the best I can come up with right now.
Chin up Folks, you have and are doing your best.
Ping for later
Rossi only has two avenues left.
He can make a case to the legislature that he really won and ask for both houses to certify him. He doesn't have a prayer there.
He can contest the election, go to state court and build a case that there was so much incompetence and/or fraud in King County that the election result was wrong. The court could throw out the election, and then it would be up to the legislature to determine the rules of the revote. But Rossi would have to have incontrovertible proof, not just allegations, of wrongdoing to get this result.
The rumor yesterday was that Rossi will concede tomorrow. I hope he doesn't.
Hopefully not. Sure didn't come across that way to me. Kudos to the man for this column.
Doesn't sound like a lot of effort has been put into this important item. Seems like more fun to have stories and find someone to blame.
If the military is really serious they only need to create a special process for this. At each post would be a special mailbox for ballots and it would also have special ballot envelopes. Something like a FedEx box setup. Then use a special expedite process and have mail from these boxes all clear to only a couple of locations in the States and then stamp them with a military ballot postmark. Then send them into the regular post system.

He might be - he is definitely a lefty, and it often clouds his judgment...but, to draw on a quote from the Mary Tyler Moore Show, "When a donkey flies, you don't blame him for not staying up that long."
They're going to certify this election for the Democrap; then, in 6 months or so, we'll find out that -- once all those military ballots that got in late are actually counted by an investigation -- the Republican actually won. But, by then, it will be too late.
"Oh, well ... better luck next time." The Democrats are saying, as they laugh their way back into the Governor's mansion.
So much for "count every vote!" Don't they mean "Count every Democrat vote!" Yeah ... that's what they REALLY mean!
My thoughts are to count ALL military votes FIRST and verify that they got to vote...then, and only then, count the rest.
