Another Election Decided by Disenfranchised Military Personnel

I thought his thoughts were articulate, frankly he brings up an issue that we must address sooner, rather than later.

In the end, everyone must agree our troops vote MUST and WILL count.

[Vigilanteman]

He makes some good points, but the root cause of the Washington fiasco was:

1. Over 700 suddenly discovered ballots in King County which were allowed to taint the entire statewide results. If anyone believes all or even most of these ballots were legitimate, please freepmail me. I'll give you a great deal on owning the Brooklyn Bridge.

2. More than 3,500 more voters in the statewide total than actually signed in to cast ballots. Again, from King County after the results of an initial count and two recounts all showing the Republican candidate won.

What I can't figure out is why a Republican Secretary of State would certify such obviously tainted results. Any explanations?

I understand that recent polls suggest that 50% plus of voters do not believe that this result is legitimate, even among democrats. There could be a considerable backlash against the dems the next time voters have to go to the polls. The Republicans may be, wisely, taking the long view on this.

The 'rat party machine of King County just stole an election. They urinated on our troops and engaged in massive fraud to elect a corrupt shyster. The Republicans are too, too nice.

When I was in the desert, I received the absentee ballots for everyone from my city, rubber-banded together. There were about 45 of them for soldiers stationed from Kuwait to Mosul. We got them re-sent, but there was no way in heck that the ballots would make it to the soldiers in time to be returned and counted.

As for a chance to vote for the recall of ex-Gov. Davis, I never received the ballots to vote.

It needs a federal investigation. If it were Republicans that did this the msmwould be screaming for one.

Because he is a RINO. Also, I wouldn't be surprised to hear he had a skiing trip on his agenda with Christine and Governor Locke.

We the people seem to understand this-- the mere politicians
who benefit most from the power our military forces afford
seem to ignore the military vote -perhaps because the majority of our military who do vote so often vote with the
conservative, and the moral, two attitudes the left seems to wish would wither and die if ignored long enough.

This can still be contested and should be.

We simply can not allow 3500 ballots to be added to an election this close that no one cast legally. That is massive fraud pure and simple. The courts can rule that 3500 votes be taken from King County in proportion to how the others were case and this would switch the winner.

This simply must be contested.

A win in court could prove the corruption in King County and do even more harm to the DemocRATS.

[norton]

"This can still be contested and should be."

Republican lawyer argued [before the new/lost/forged ballots were allowed] that there would be a contest in any event. Let's just hope that they carry through and actually do so.

I truly surprised that this article failed to mention that a soldier who does not receive his/her local ballot is guaranteed under federal law the ability to vote using the write-in ballot, which is available both in paper and on-line versions. The Pentagon made a very big deal about its availabity.

The situation is *much* better than it used to be.

PING for later

[ImphClinton]

Amen.

THE RATS PULLED OFF ANOTHER MILITARY ABSENTEE BALLOT HEIST! - ping.

Surprised, anyone?

================================================

This margin could easily have been accounted for by overseas military personnel who tried to vote, but whose ballots were not counted.
