RCW 29A.68.020
Commencement by registered voter -- Causes for.
Any registered voter may contest the right of any person declared elected to an office to be issued a certificate of election for any of the following causes:
All election contests must proceed under RCW 29A.68.010.
- (1) For misconduct on the part of any member of any precinct election board involved therein.
- (5) On account of illegal votes.
(a) Illegal votes include but are not limited to the following:(i) More than one vote cast by a single voter;
(ii) A vote cast by a person disqualified under Article VI, section 3 of the state Constitution.
(b) Illegal votes do not include votes cast by improperly registered voters who were not properly challenged under RCW 29A.08.810 and 29A.08.820.
(b) Illegal votes do not include votes cast by improperly registered voters who were not properly challenged under RCW 29A.08.810 and 29A.08.820.
So am I reading b correctly in saying that any of those votes counted that were made by people that weren't properly registered yet were not challenged before hand from the election will be counted anyways?
Is this overvote pointless anyways?
