If you didn't already see the trailer of Dean Logan and Ron Sims' first Hollywood movie together be sure to check it out!
And on a more serious note, Logan is speaking at the Election Center's conference in Beverly Hills next month, holding a breakout session titled "Challenged Elections and Recounts". Presumably these are instructions on how to screw the voters in a challenged recount and still keep your job. It would be fascinating to get the audio or even a copy of the Powerpoint presentation.
The Election Center, by the way, is the organization that's conducting the King County Council's audit of Logan's department. Hopefully the auditors do not include whoever it was from the Election Center that was so impressed with Logan's brilliance that they scheduled him as an expert speaker.

This is insane!
I was reminded about the 'divined' vote from a stray mark that didn't even look like a vote.
I was also reminded of the fact that election workers were instructed to look at how a voter voted in other categories on the ballot and 'create' a vote for them in the governor section, even if there wasn't one before.
a righteous anger welled up in me when I read that last one. This CANNOT be allowed to happen again and we have to scream and beat these people over the head (figuratively, of course) about it until they stop. It's an outrage.

If this is their objective, Logan is their man. Let's hope he moves down there permanently to be with his own kind.

How to Steal an Election in Broad Daylight
With reference material from Uncle Joe Stalin an Mayor Daily.
Should be a hoot, can we get a spy in to record the lecture?

I have a cost saving suggestion to make after the past election.
I would humbly ask the Appointed election committee who is mirroring everything Ron Sims is in favor of in Election Reform, the following question:
Would it not be cheaper for the taxpayers in King County if we just laid off the entire election department, and had Ron Sim's hand pick the regional and national election winners. He is surely the Lord of Washington, and it would eliminate the need for elections and election reform in the state.
We would end up with the same results today!
Posted by: GS on July 19, 2005 03:25 AMWhat was your reasoning behind having Dean Logan as a guest speaker at your conference next month? Is it because he is from the State of Washington and we had a challenged election? If so, I would think that there are far better candidates from other counties in the state that could offer more insight. Mr. Logan still does not know why things went wrong under his watch or at least won't admit publicly to them. He doesn't believe in accountability or even real reform and I think that his speaking at your conference does a disservice to the attendees.
I'll let you know what they say.....if anything.
Posted by: On our Dime! on July 19, 2005 11:11 AMThere is one more question you could pose to them if they call you back.
Ask them WHY are they inviting him to speak if they are contracted to "investigate" audit what happened under his Watch? How can they present a good seminar without the answers of the Audit?
I liken this to inviting the "Three Little Pigs" to dinner, and the Butler (Wolf) greets them at the door.
