A year ago February I mentioned the case of Port Townsend Democrat activist Todd McGuire, who was suspected of forging his wife's signature on an absentee ballot envelope, in addition to casting his own ballot. (these documents tell the story).
Today's Peninsula Daily News reports that McGuire now faces felony charges for illegal voting.

Too bad that King County doesn't have the respect for the law like Jefferson County has.
Sound Politics showed proof that hundreds did this in the 2004 election, and nobody in the King County Prosecutor's office cared.
Posted by: zDawg on July 6, 2008 01:11 PMWe sophisticate urbanites in King County are light years ahead of Jefferson and Clallam Counties in sweeping evidence of crooked voting under the rug. Thus do we maintain the correct party in monolithic control, the way God intended.
Posted by: Insufficiently Sensitive on July 6, 2008 01:19 PMBetween Acorn's slimy voter registration getting uncovered, and these Prominent County Democrats I'm beginning to understand why Democrats get elected in this state.
Oh, and McGuire is the victim of republican dirty tricks.

Posted by: Obi-Wan on July 6, 2008 01:39 PM17 months seems like a mighty long time for this to flounder around. One might suspect the Prosecutor was hoping it would evaporate. Many citizens were made aware of this by Stefan's original post and followed up diligently, as did the local newspapers.
Thanks Stefan

Posted by: deadwood on July 6, 2008 08:33 PMThe guy you are defending is being prosecuted because his wife (also a Dem activist) ratted him out and a DEMOCRAT-controlled Canvassing Board unanimously voted to send it to the Prosecutor.
Hey AllFacts, the guy you are trying to defend is in this position because of Democrats! You should be praising them...not a perpetrator who seems to have disenfranchised all of us with an illegal vote.
If you don't think he should be prosecuted...blame the Democrats!
Posted by: AllFactsRFiction on July 7, 2008 09:59 AMI thought you said you had some facts. We're still waiting? Please site for the us the law that was broken when the president fired your cause celeb, McCay?
You are a good propagandist such that you'd make even Goebbels blush with your tactic. All the US Attorney's serve at the pleasure of the commander in chief. Your liberals certainly never uttered a peep when William Jefferson Clinton fired ALL 93 Us Attorneys - talk about "the politicization of the Justice Department". Sheesh.
Secret Government = Best Government
That has always been the Democrat motto as they have gone to court to ensure the inner workings of the Washington State government cannot be made totally public. And the rubber stamp liberal supreme court went right along too, slamming the door to public disclosure.
Anyone with half a brain understands we must do all we can to remove the stain of the Republiconvict Party from all forms of government.
Half a brain certainly describes you. Too bad you aren't using it.
There is nothing anyone can do to achieve these ends as bad as Jeb Bush purging tens of thousands of legitimate voters from the rolls in Florida before the 2000 election.
Do we live in Washington State or Florida? Talk about projection!
You want to complain about 1 voter, but when the caging lists issue comes up, thousands of legitimate voters....... silence.
No actually there were complaints of hundreds of illegal votes cast. What we want to do is point out that only one of them was finally prosecuted out of hundreds of illegal ones.
But then when the Democrat vote fraud groups such as ACORN get prosecuted in what has been described even in the liberal press as the "state's biggest case of voter-registration fraud" all we here from liberals is ... silence.
HYPOCRITES!
You want Democracy and fair elections as much as Saddam did. You'll use his same tactics to ensure your outcome as well.
LOL, get over it fool. You lost in that state know matter how many times you tried to change the way you counted the votes. Even your state supremes knew their last vote would bring the Fed S/S on top of them.
Typical Libs, change the rules unitl it fits me.
"fact's" You have none.
Posted by: Army Medic/Vet on July 7, 2008 11:48 AMKind of sucks to be Mr. McGuire.
And it really sucks to be County Commissioner David Sullivan as Todd McGuire was his Campaign Treasurer in 2004...signing all Sullivan's PDC Reports under Penalty of Perjury.
