He said he was speaking for all of the other auditors in the state. If I was another auditor, I would immediately hold a press conference and announce that this guy DOES NOT speak for me!
Is this dem guy a joke? Am I listening to the right audio stream?? What the heck? Have you guys heard his arguments for "offsetting errors"?
For anyone who's not listening, here's my brief, real-time synopsis:
...And now he's talking about how Stevens county doesn't verify signatures on provisional ballots, which is supposed to "offset" King County's provisional ballot nightmare??? Let's see, first off, I see that Stevens county had about 20,000 ballots. Total. King had almost 900,000. But they offset each other....yeah, right!
Oh, now here's the sob story about some lady who couldn't vote for Gregoire because the county "merged" her record with someone else's...
...now claiming 159 voters were disenfranchised due to mistakes at KC elections...he says Republicans are saying it's ridiculous to count those 159 votes NOW (which it is), but if I'm hearing him right, he's suggesting that they now count 159 additional (previously-uncounted) ballots! NOW!! And using signatures from people's driver's license, not the registered voter signature database! What is this guy smoking? Yep, he just said they're going to subpoena these uncounted ballots and bring them to the courtroom and get them added to the count!
That move REEKS of desperation if you ask me....
...people who moved and had problems with their registrations, so they were rejected...those need to be counted and added to the total too...etc....
