That election is pretty widely considered to have been stolen.
This will be the story of the week. I'm greatly encouraged there will be a re-vote or comprehensive examination of this election.
I hope DU is paying attention to this. Now THATS vote fraud!
This man needs to be recalled for laziness, incompetence, and malfeasance.
Now that's creative *L*
I know Greg Kimsey. Although he is a Republican, he wants gregoire to win, because if Rossi wins, a lot of his buddies are going to prison, especially with McKenna as the new state AG. Kimsey is a slime ball, as is the GOP Clark County Sheriff, Garry Lucas.
---------------------
"Clark County Auditor Greg Kimsey said he thinks that 553 of the 1,005 vote-to-voter discrepancy there will be accounted for when the list of inactive voters -- those who have not participated in recent elections -- is reconciled with those who did in fact turn out in November.
What the heck does that mean? The list of POTENTIAL voters has no bearing on the number of voters who actually participated. The dicrepancy is between voters who showed up vs. the number of ballots in the final count...more ballots than voters. Kimsey is comparing apples & oranges. Right?
------------
"We believe that the majority of those 388 are poll voters who signed in the poll book but actually voted a provisional ballot," Diepenbrock said.
-------------------
I have no idea what THIS means. It might make sense if she had said there are provisional voters whose ballot was eventually counted but they WERE NOT entered in the poll book. In that case ballots would exceed vote turnout.
But that's not what she said. They DID sign the book...and thus they are included in the vote turnout count. Her explanation seems upside down.
Am I misunderstanding what these people are saying?! Help!
It is galling to hear an elected official (especially one who works as closely to the people as Kimsey does) so arrogantly flick off his public duty.
If the job's too difficult, he needs to move down the hall into a lesser post, say, maybe, dog catcher. I do not believe, however, that reconciling the voter registration list with the votes cast is too difficult. I don't think old Greggers would think so, either, if forced to do this by a court.
But the Republicans aren't going away, which is why this story gets more like Chutes and Ladders every day.
Am I right though? Don't their statements say just the opposite of what would explain the discrepancy?
What's the "street" reaction out there?
Description: Count off as you race your (blighted) character from square 1 to Square 100. Finished with your vote counting? Good job - move ahead 21 ballots. Got caught with your hand in the cookie jar? Then it's back 63 votes for you! Chutes and Ladders is simple and easy to play, even for those who can't read or fill out a ballot correctly. In going up the ladders and down the chutes, a child will learn by the pictures the rewards of good deeds and the consequences of naughty ones. For 2 to 4 players. Or 2.9 million players vs. 129 players.
They should just go back to the machine and hand recount.
Rossi won by 42 votes and leave it at that. Oh, and prosecute the DNC in Washington State for fraud.
I think I will alter my bank statement just enough to cover that new car I've been looking at, and then go to the bank and ask them to change their records to match it. Then, I can go buy the car.
