I hadn't updated the online voter database in a few months, but the data is now up-to-date with the Secretary of State's release of August 31. (voter credits for the August 2007 primary are NOT included).
One glitch -- the SoS sent a revised file layout table, which indicated that the RegPrecinctCode field had changed from 6 characters to 9. After updating my system to accommodate the change, I discovered that the field was still only 6 characters wide, so I had to back out the changes.
I hope they're better at counting votes than they are at counting character fields.
One nice improvement -- the SoS data release now includes each voter's voting history from the county. I'll add that to the online voter database when I get a chance.

There seems to be a bug with Pend Oreille County. A lot of voters in the searches I've done have street numbers, but not street names. This seems to disproportionately affect certain alphabet ranges (11 of 107 Smiths versus 0 of 77 Johnsons). That could be coincidence.
It also looks like some voters registered on October 9th, 2006, at the Union Gospel Mission and YMCA shelter remain uncancelled. I sure hope that's a coincidence.
