The King County Council Committee of the Whole will be briefed by Deanron Monday morning on proposed ordinances for mail-only voting. The twin ordinances, proposed by Democrats Bob Ferguson and Julia Patterson, would direct
[Deanron] to conduct all primary, special, and general elections in King County entirely by mail ballot beginning on a date in 2007 to be determined by [Deanron].and also appropriate $1,835,446 of your taxdollars to take away your right to choose to vote at a polling place.
That's odd, because one of Bob Ferguson's most recent campaign promises was to "support a woman's right to choose" . Julia Patterson has also accepted campaign contributions from NARAL, so I guess she must have also told someone that she supports the right to choose. And listen to what Deanron told a NARAL rally earlier this year
we know the bottom line is that government has no role in the decisions that women will make.Indeed. First these people pretend to be pro-choice, but then they try to take away your right to choose how to vote, and to force all of us to have our votes counted in Backroom Alleys by members of the Teamsters Union. Sheesh.The government should be supportive. That is a precious right, and if this country cannot ensure the right to choose? What country will? What country will? Where is the grand experiment in the whole world? Nothing has ever existed like this! My God! I'll tell you there is a line in the sand. There is a line in the sand. There is a line to rights, to privacy rights, to choice, and on the other side there is another line and that line says, "Backroom Alleys." Well, "Backroom Alleys No More!"
Call your Councilmember and call the Executive's office and tell them that you don't want your vote counted in Backroom Alleys, you want the right to choose how to vote and that this is your line in the sand.

Most politicians are an embarassment to humanity. Especially those with morality flip-flopping daily on what they think will get them reelected or help them curry favor with their fellow collectivists.

How are the teamsters involved? I'm sure it would be a terrible thing if the ballots were counted by people with decent wages and health care benefits.
Will there be options for those who would rather not fill out their ballots at home or mail them in?
Wouldn't a more uniform voting system throughout the county make it easier to ensure accuracy?

Wages and health care benefits have nothing to do with it. Rank partisan politics do. "You can take the Teamsters out of the politics, but you can't take the politics out of the Teamsters".....
Posted by: alphabet soup on May 12, 2006 01:12 PMHow did you connect these two issues in a post? I guess my question is why? Regardless of what you believe, it seems kind of odd since the two are at opposite spectrums of our social world.

Something about facts . . . . thanks for clarifications
I suppose now that you know that the elections staff are Teamsters Union members you are going to tell us that there is no reason anyone might ever think that having our votes counted by them in backrooms is questionable.
I'm sure you would also be very comfortable to have the Building Industry Association of Washington do the final tally and issue the final elections certification.
While the BIAW is not in the habit of creating spreadsheets without column summaries, and making false reports to the voters like the Teamsters en camp with petty criminals like Deanron, they can add, subtract, and discern the difference between right and wrong.
As a shameless blind liberal apologist for petty criminals and butt pirate liberal Democrats -- you don't seem to have much more to say here.
What other half-hearted and clueless attempts at corrections do you have for us?
Posted by: Amused by liberals on May 14, 2006 11:53 AMStill waiting for that excuse for being so rude. What's your problem?
Posted by: eric on May 17, 2006 04:47 PMAgain, here is the interaction which occurred on 12 May:
I said:
Are the ballots going to counted at a different location than they have been? Will partisan and non-partisan observers no longer be able to observe the ballot counting process?
"...then they try to take away your right to choose how to vote, and to force all of us to have our votes counted in Backroom Alleys by member of the Teamsters Union."

Again, what is your excuse for your insults? Did I insult you or anyone you know? Is this how you address the many 'liberal' roommates of which you are so proud of besting in 'argument'?
