USA Today reports
Friday, February 10[Emphasis added] In fact, the team was never hired. Deanron is apparently satisifed that "mistakes" in the Elections office are now being satisfactorily covered up, or at least not finding their way into the mainstream newspapers (e.g. the fact that Logan allowed 40% of the challenged mail ballots to be counted before they could be adjudicated, or the fact that they're proposing a move to all-mail voting when the existing mail ballot accounting system is not actually capable of accounting for all mail ballots)
Seattle - King County [Executive/Elections Director Deanron] says the elections department has made so much improvement that it no longer needs an overhaul by an outside turnaround team. The team was hired on the recommendation of a task force looking into problems exposed in the close 2004 race for governor.

During your lawsuit with Sims, make sure your lawyer states all this for the record and submits your ENTIRE WEBSITE into evidence. These guys are criminals. Posted by: Steve_dog on February 10, 2006 11:00 AM

I'm pretty sure they've been soiling their undies over the cartoons and today is wash day.

Business as usual.
No turnaround need.

I told everyone here when Fraudoire ginned up that fraudulent "Blue Ribbon Commission" with Sam Reed as chief Commissar after the 2004 theft, that nothing would change. You were just spinning your wheels trying to be good citizens and playing along with that, hoping that things would get done and change for the better. Well, we see now, fat chance. Like the old song says, we can only hope, "we won't get fooled again".

Would be a chance to turn the tables - King County is constantly mandating how the rest of the state is run, now let the rest of the state mandate how King County is managed (since the rest of the state already has elected auditors).

P.S. If you didn't vote in King County and you were a resident last November; Don't Bitch! you're part of the problem.

Posted by: tacoma phlash on February 10, 2006 08:26 PMI just have to shake my head when I read comments like this!
I wish people would understand that it didn't matter how many people turned out to vote against Ron Sims (and company) last November! 98% of the votes could have been for David Irons - but because of the fraud machine that is in place in King County elections - the Democrat candidates and liberal-backed initiatives will ALWAYS come out on top in the vote count.... Sure - they will allow a few powerless Republicans to occaisionally win - but only a few - and that's just to take away suspicion. And they will allow an initiative to pass if they believe they can still screw it up in their liberal-leaning judicial system....(ie; $30.00 car tabs, etc..)
That's why the ONLY way to stop this machine would be a Federal investigation......until that happens - your vote - and the votes of all law abiding citizens in this state - will not count....(or be counted in the manner in which you voted..)
Ebony & Ivory.....most excellent!
Is it just me or does Dean appear to be leaning slightly to his right away from Sims????
Abused animals often flinch away from their abusive masters.

How many of the agencies that Ron Sims chairs or otherwise leads are embroiled in scandal and corruption? Three come to mind: King County, Election Department and Sound Transit. Does Ron lead the Port of Seattle or does the Port escape his control? My point is unlike fabled Midas who turn touched things into gold, everything Ron or Queenie touches turns into a cesspool of corruption. Wonder how well either of these remarkable leaders would do in private enterprise?
Posted by: Snuffy on February 11, 2006 09:17 AMWe are about ready to move out of the state to get away from all the crooked, corrupt politics in King County and other parts of Washington. I would not be surprised to find others thinking along the same lines.
