Sure they got to the auditor? It was either '96 or '98 a voter watchdog group called CLEAN caught the Former Pierce county election honcho and a big staff remarking absentee ballots in a warehouse on the tide flats that was provided by either Rick Bender of the Building Trades or the WEA, I don't remember which.
If my memory serves me correctly, I don't live in Pierce, never would, the county paid a big fine and the next election the gal who was the leader spun the issue and was reelected.
We handed them right to the elections office in Tacoma, so if they ended up in a warehouse somewhere in Aberdeen, well...
Nothing would really surprise me at this point.
