Oooooohhhhh......Someone is going to do some jailtime over this one. Probably the bureaucrat that failed to destroy the evidence...

Puget Sound is cold and deep. It will be months before the offending clerk's body will float to the surface and by then the case will be closed.

Hey, these guys are Democrats ~ not otherwise moral people.

Mounting evidence of organized election fraud Yesterday I finally received a portion of King County's voter database transaction log. It was weeks late, incomplete and issued only after I sued the county. These records confirm more elements of my recent article in The Stranger -- that elections officials knowingly and unlawfully counted ballots from ineligible voters last November and then modified computer records to cover it up.

Here is just one example of a voter's provisional ballot envelope that was unlawfully counted and her registration records [large PDF] which show signs of record tampering --

This voter did not sign her registration form. That was noted when her registration was processed on Oct. 9. (p. 5 of registration records). Her provisional ballot envelope was appropriately marked "fatal pend / sig" (meaning ineligible registration, missing signature). Interestingly, somebody else, perhaps a supervisor (initials JM) overrode "fatal pend" notation, by marking the ballot envelope "OK".

Now look at p. 7 of the registration records, which shows the transactions on the provisional ballot record. The employee who processed the ballot on 11/9 correctly changed its status from "A" (active voter) to "F" (fatal pended voter). On 11/16 somebody changed the status back to "A". That is consistent with the story I reported in The Stranger that the ineligible "fatal pend" ballots were set aside until the two days before the 11/17 certification when Bill Huennekens ordered them to be counted. Even more intriguing -- while most transactions are attributed to users whose DIMS user names resemble their real names, the 11/16 transaction, like many others I've seen, was performed by user "tester02".

Now go back to p. 5 of the registration records. Consistent with what I've seen in other records, on January 6th between 3pm - 4pm there was a batch job that updated certain registration records. Among other things, it changed the registration status of fatal pend provisional voters from "F" to "A" [p.5, line 17]. The "reason" code for updating the status was "PROVISIONAL BALLOT". A provisional ballot is not an acceptable method of curing a missing signature. The signature has to be submitted by signing the oath on a voter registration form. There is no evidence that this voter returned a signed registration form. By comparison, a different voter corrected their fatal pend with a registration form and their transaction log has a much different pattern (this page, lines 1-11)

Put the Jan 6th batch job in the context of King County's issuance of an updated voter registration file on January 7. This file supposedly reduced the discrepancy between votes and voters that was discovered in the earlier voter file.

I observed at the time that the new file included several hundred voters who were not included in the earlier file. As it turns out, a large number of these magical mystery voters were ineligible to vote, like the subject of this post. Their provisional ballots were unlawfully counted and their registrations were unlawfully activated in order to help Dean Logan "reduce the discrepancy" between votes and voters and cover up the evidence of illegal vote counting.

my comment... Enough votes to steal the governorship?

Yah, right!

That's hilarious! Someone actually be held accountable for elections crimes in King County!

Well, unless you count prosecuting a husband who voted for his wife who had died less then a week before they got their absentee ballots. Which is the ONLY thing that has happened so far.
