Jason "Zappini" Osgood continues to do terrific work exposing the astonishing senselessness of Sherril Huff and Ron Sims's "very, very good plan" reckless plan for mail-only voting in 2008.
After the County Council received strongly negative assessments of the Sims/Huff plan from both the Citizens Elections Oversight Committee [here] and from its outside experts [here and here], the Council directed King County Elections to shelve the plan to purchase brand new untested equipment and to run the 2008 election entirely by mail using existing infrastructure, which the Elections Office says it cannot do.
So the Elections Office is marching ahead with its universally panned plan anyway, Osgood reports at Washblog (read both):
"Reckless Plan: Full Steam Ahead"
and
"Reckless Plan: The Ballot Fairy Needs New Tabulators"
Hm, looks like they in fact were NOT directed to not go ahead. The Council only said they "prefer" Elections doesn't go ahead.
