Sounds like business as usual. Basically they are "setting" these elections up to go the way the want. We have to get this stopped.

The hospital board president also e-mailed King County Councilman Steve Hammond about the mail mistakes.

``It's almost getting to the point of surreal,'' Hammond said earlier this week. ``It's still not a system that assures accuracy. We seem to be up against a group of folks who think everything should rely on individuals. I'm appalled.''

Hammond, a Republican, has been a vocal critic of the elections department in the wake of the general election and problems with lost ballots and other irregularities.

Gosh, I have so much confidence in they way King County handles its elections. Wasn't it Ron Sims, the County Executive who said that banks would be proud of this degree of accuracy!

Memo to self, don't bank where Ron Sims banks.

Actually, I think it means they meant "Forwarding Order" so the mail would be returned with a new address, but I'm not sure it works the same way in King Co.

[ sarcasm intended ]

I believe that what you are thinking of is "Address Correction Requested", which makes it so that the post office will put forwarding information on the envelope and return it to sender. That is what they are supposed to do, actually. Instead they sent them out "Forwarding Service Requested", which forwards the ballot to the recipient without notifying the sender.
