Is this for real?

So voters that are not properly registered and are not properly 'challenged' are not considered illegal voters?

Maybe there is a good legal basis for such rules but I can see none.

This may yet be another case of RCW statutes that are written by liberals to protect themselves and their power.

So am I reading b correctly in saying that any of those votes counted that were made by people that weren't properly registered yet were not challenged before hand from the election will be counted anyways?

Is this overvote pointless anyways?
