and each of us for himself or herself says: I have personally signed this petition; I am a legal voter of the State of Washington in the precinct and city (or town) and county written after my name, and my residence address is correctly stated, and to my knowledge, have signed this petition only once.

We, citizens and legal voters of the state of Washington, understand that Sam Reed, Washington State Secretary of State, was elected by 1,369,421 voters, which RCW 29A.56.180 requires 25% of who voted for Sam Reed, or 342,356 signatures, to sign a petition that would be submitted to recall him from his office by state law.

In addition to violating his prescribed office duties and obligations, we, the citizens signing and filing this petition, charge Sam Reed, Washington Secretary of State, with violation of the following:

RCW 42.20.100 Failure of duty by public officer a misdemeanor

Whenever any duty is enjoined by law upon any public officer or other person holding any public trust or employment, their willful neglect to perform such duty, except where otherwise specially provided for, shall be a misdemeanor.

RCW 42.20.040 False report

Every public officer who shall knowingly make any false or misleading statement in any official report or statement, under circumstances not otherwise prohibited by law, shall be guilty of a gross misdemeanor.

RCW 42.20.050 Public officer making false certificate

Every public officer who, being authorized by law to make or give a certificate or other writing, shall knowingly make and deliver as true such a certificate or writing containing any statement which he knows to be false, in a case where the punishment thereof is not expressly prescribed by law, shall be guilty of a gross misdemeanor.

RCW 9A.80.010 Official misconduct

(1) A public servant is guilty of official misconduct if, with intent to obtain a benefit or to deprive another person of a lawful right or privilege:

(a) He intentionally commits an unauthorized act under color of law; or

(b) He intentionally refrains from performing a duty imposed upon him by law.

(2) Official misconduct is a gross misdemeanor.

The specific violations Sam Reed, Washington State Secretary of State, is guilty of, in accordance with RCW 43.07.030 (6) [Certification to the legislature the election returns for all officers required by the Constitution to be so certified, and certify to the governor the names of all other persons who have received at any election the highest number of votes for any office the incumbent of which is to be commissioned by the governor] are as follows:

1) King County alone counted 3,539 more votes than the number of people who actually voted.

2) King County "discovered" additional ballots 9 different times (as of 01/10/2005);

3) King County disenfranchised 300+ soldiers in Iraq who never received their ballot in time to return by the deadline;

4) Poll workers fed provisional ballots directly into counting machines, commingling them with legal ballots and circumventing the process of keeping them out of the count if they proved to be illegal.

5) Elections workers "enhanced" more than 55,000 ballots, and contrary to state law, they permanently obscured the original marks on many, preventing a review of their decisions;

6) There are at least 557 names in the Jan. 7 file for people who supposedly voted on Nov. 2, but who weren't listed in the Nov. 1 file. Only 94 of the 557 are in the Dec. 29 file. There are a number of pre-2004 registration dates among the 557, but many of these aren't in the June file. 280 of the 557 are shown to have registered on dates between Jun 7, 2004 and Oct. 2, 2004, yet did not appear in any of the earlier versions of the King County voter databases.

7) Seattle's Precinct 1823 counted 343 ballots, which is 71 more ballots than the 272 voters who cast them. This is the single largest discrepancy between ballots and voters in all of King County. Nearly all of the discrepancy is due to "provisional ballots".

Some simpler language maybe. Washington's present Secretary of State is not subject to recall after less than a month in office when the election mishaps as charged occured last year. Last year's term is dead and gone bye bye. A recall is not designed for a prior term in office that has already expired. A recall is designed to remove an elected official during an existing term of office. The legal issue places the recall barking up the wrong tree.

Thanx for the clarification.

I agree.

I believe that we're stuck with Mr. Reed for awhile....

Forlorn as many are over election results in general, a smoking gun may not be enough when the big guns have the machine gun behind them called the press and that root of all evil named Demon Mucho Grande Moola. I am refering to government holding hands with big brother corporate, turbins and old money. Nine times out of ten, voters throw people in government and throw them out only to find the one they threw in they are not any more happy with than the one they threw out. The beat still goes on. Looking into King County election records to discover the evils lurking there is a cake walk compared to trying to get discovery of evils at the Big White House where millions are being spent on building an expansion, a city like underground bomb shelter for Pres. (W) and his Merry Men. I recall growing up when all the rich had a bomg shelter during the war. Why all the terror afoot, why can't we all have one. We are somebody too. Maybe Bush can squeeze that in his budget so we all could feel as safe as (W). We are a free nation. I treasure that freedom and hold it close to my heart but freedom never comes without it's price. Many die for it. Freedom of information does not come so easily as it should. Do not assume that America's heads of state do not control their own form of propaganda as all other countries do. Evil lurks where evil lurks and that is everywhere. While people are busy checking the King Co. and other voter rolls to uncover the felons, the deceased, the chads and the provision ballots, one after another evil is being born daily here as well as abroad. While the election results may not have been a bed of roses, it beats the hell out of being born in Iraq.

Tossof vs. Havealot

Take a small town in Eastern Washington.

1,000 residents. 800 US citizens; 100 immigrants with green card; 100 illegal aliens w/o green card.

Of the 800 residents, who are US citizens, 400 register to vote; the other 400 don't register to vote for reasons of their own.

Of the 100 immigrants with a green card, 50 register to vote and sign the oath that they are a citizens. Likewise, 50 of the illegal aliens register to vote because they are not required to provide proof of citizenship.

In this example, 500 people are registered to vote. An election is held and 300 turn out to vote. The 300 are made up of the following:

[1] 150 are US citizens registered to vote
[2] 50 are provisional voters who never registered to vote; nobody knows who they are
[3] 25 are dead people who were registered at the time they died
[4] 25 are felons or convicts who where registered before they became a felon or a convict; they served their time and never had their privilege to vote reinstated
[5] 25 are immigrants with a green card, who registered to vote
[6] 25 are illegal aliens who registered to vote

Candidates in this scenario require 151 votes to prevail and win the election.

Candidates who receive 149 votes lose.

In this example, there are two candidates for Mayor: There is Dee Dee Tossof and Tina Havealot.

Tina Havealot gets 155 votes.

Dee Dee Tossof gets 145 votes.

Question #1: Who wins the election?
Question #2: How many people should have been "entitled" to vote? Why?
Question #3: Should each vote cast be worth 1/300th?
Question #4: Was anyone's vote stolen? If yes or no, why?
Question #5: Should every vote count? If yes or no, why?
Question #6: Who should win this election and why?
Question #7: What should happen with the outcome of the election, and why.
