This voter's registration record was correctly classified as "Fatal Pending" last October because she registered only with a P.O. Box and did not give a residence address. Accordingly, she was not eligible to vote.
Her provisional ballot envelope could have conceivably cured her defective registration if she had supplied her residence address. She did not. She was not eligible to vote. The ballot was clearly marked "Needs Further Research" (to verify eligibility before counting, which was not done). The ballot was counted anyway, apparently in precinct 1823!
Posted by Stefan Sharkansky at November 01, 2005 02:14 PM | Email ThisThe registration was rejected by "hansentim" on 10/15/04, and on 2/18/2005, "elsomt" investigated and sent a letter to the voter to obtain MISSING INFORMATION before the gristration could be validated. But purely for the purposes of counting every vote, someone called "tester25" created a NEW RECORD for this voter on 11/9/2004...
Have I got that right? I wonder if "tester25" is a relative of "tester02"?
What assurance do we the voters have that the very persons in charge of the King County elections will run an honest counting, especially when you stand to lose your job if the count doesn't go your way? This seems like a huge conflict of interest with many still doubting the accuracy of the last general election.

I guess that the mysterious "tester02" is not included in that list, right? I note the possibly Freudian slip of "democratic" society...
He concludes with this howler: "We have found human error but never fraud." What definition of fraud is being used here? I suppose that you can prove that ALL these double votes, and illegal votes, and the mysterious "tester02" were just screw-ups. Of course, if you asked any of these people, why wouldn't they just say "I just screwed up; I wasn't deliberately committing fraud?" They wouldn't lie to avoid jail time, would they?
An excellent non-answer, Mr. Sims! Would you like my non-vote for you, too? (Of course, I can't vote for you anyway, being a resident of Pierce County, but hey--why should I let that stop me?!)
Thanks for the translation, I have trouble understanding bulls***.
Posted by: Jeffro on November 1, 2005 03:31 PMShe didn't even sign her last name on the provisional ballot. Her address is listed as a P O Box....and they STILL counted her ballot!
Tester 25 - validated her registration on 11/9/04.....for no reason other than to manipulate the election outcome...
If this isn't intentional election fraud......WHAT IS?
Posted by: Deborah on November 1, 2005 06:28 PMWas her name on the list of voters credited with voting that was released by King County on January 7, 2005? The transaction log seems to indicate that her name wouldn't have been included on that list when the data base was queried to compile the list, since she had not submitted a complete application (no "complete valid residence address").
