"McFarland's lawyer, John Price, told the judge that she simply didn't know what to do with the extra absentee ballot after her husband of 63 years passed away."

I don't know, maybe throw it away, turn back in......or maybe fraudulently fill it out and vote twice for Chrissy Gregoire.

They should be in jail or at least not allowed to vote again.

I hate when I have to make decisions like that.  There is just no easy answer.

I would think it's a high probability that they did vote for her.

Is Robert Holmgren related to the Seahawks coach, I wonder?

Since it is not mentioned... BUT if it were a double Republican vote it would be all over CNN, MSNBC, CBS, ABC, NBC, PBS... hell, it would replace the Deep Throat coverage!

"My wife died just before this election," Holmgren, 59, told Judge Eileen Cato. "My judgment was clouded by the grief. I'm really sorry for what I did."

Yeah, I wasn't thinking straight so I filled out her absentee ballot and mailed it in - happens all the time...

...she simply didn't know what to do with the extra absentee ballot...

OLTG's Axiom...(This goes back to the Clinton Administration...)

Only criminals claim to be stupid as an excuse for their activities...

Stupid people always make other excuses.....

FBI files??? Bureaucratic snafu!
Travel Office Firings??? Inexperienced White House Managers!

As these frauds keep getting convicted, I assume the judge is tossing the vote also or at least requesting the election officials do so?

So, if your spouse dies it's OK to vote twice? Gee, what a concept!

Wonderful!

It is now precedent (at least in Washington) that a sleazebucket can cancel out my most valuable right as a citizen for $400.

Just great.

At the very least the article should state what party these people were enrolled in.

Had they voted for Rossi, it would have been in the headline.

This is Seattle, my friend. You can safely make that assumption.
