Fraud-friendly bills advance through the Legislature
Coming up for a vote in the House: SB 5566, which would prohibit copying of voter signatures (ballot envelopes, poll books, etc), thereby enabling election officials to cover-up their misconduct. For example, it would prohibit me from exposing the hundreds of illegal votes that King County counted in 2004, including this pair of absentee ballots from the same voter:
It gets worse. Rep. Tami Green introduced an amendment to retain copying of phone numbers from ballot envelopes. This dovetails with another "election reform" bill, SB 5738, recently amended to require only 1 witness on an affidavit to cure a mismatched signature. Activists could record the phone numbers off ballots with rejected signatures, call the voter, and if the voter voted "correctly", they could just "witness" an affidavit on the voter's behalf and ensure the vote is counted! And vice-versa!

1. Another tid bit I read this morning, On-Line Voter Registration passed...... You need WDL or Wa State ID to apply online, but and I am surprised the Dem's allowed this.
Isn't this voter registration disenfranchisment (sp)??? Only Valid Drivers, or those with State issued ID allowed to register on-line.
Just my .02 cents.
2. What ACORN is working towards is a situation where they have a their activists with cell phones at the central Mail Ballot Facility. After polls close, local Dems can call the ACORN activist and just have them deposit as many ballots as needed and fill in any gaps needed to sway the election. The ACORN rep gets to "witness" each ballot. Names are harvested from the telephone book. And there's is no cross checking with other ballots, or possible discovery of duplicate names by audits from people like Stefan.
3. Do you have any suggestions as to who we should contact and the best way (e.g. letter, call, email) or is this a done deal?
4. The canvassing board shall may not count the provisional ballot if it finds that the voter also cast an absentee or mail ballot.
Just the kind of reform one would expect. :)
5. Bah, HTML tags were stripped. They removed the word "shall" and replaced it with "may."
6. I just think my right to vote is so important that this nonsense demeans this basic privilege.

And worth noting Rep. Greens affiliations.
8. So what is the argument for this bill? Really, not just inferred argument, the real one the supporters have positioned behind.

10. If you click the links to the bills above, and then select the various "bill reports," you can see who testified for and the nature of their testimony.
Nobody opposed.
