I met her at Andy's memorial. She helped organize Andy's memorial.
I suspect she's being targeted for her activities concerning voter verified paper trails. She definitely was one of Andy's insiders.

SEATTLE -- Former King County Elections Superintendent Julie Ann Kempf has been arrested for investigation of forgery, theft, criminal impersonation and assault.
Kempf, 40, who was fired in 2002 for what officials called a "pattern of dishonesty," was booked into the King County Jail just after 5 p.m. Tuesday and released less than an hour later, jail records show. The arrest was first reported in the Seattle Weekly on Wednesday.
Sgt. John Urquhart, a King County sheriff's spokesman, did not immediately return calls from The Associated Press seeking comment Wednesday, and Dan Donohoe, a spokesman for the county prosecutor's office, said the investigation was being handled by the state Attorney General's Office.
Janelle Guthrie, a spokeswoman for the Attorney General's Office, confirmed the case had been referred there, but said she could not comment further.
The Weekly, citing confidential sources, reported that Kempf allegedly sent current King County Elections Director Dean Logan an e-mail pretending to be someone else; inserted false documents into a file of public records while she was reviewing them, constituting forgery; stopped payment on a check that she had used to pay for the documents and, during an investigative interview attempt last week, tried to hit a sheriff's detective with her car.
"When we tried to interview her on July 11, she was in a car at her residence," Urquhart told the Weekly, though he refused to identify the defendant by name. "The detective had his ID out, showed his badge, and she drove off. He had to jump out of the way to avoid being hit by the vehicle. We have no doubt she saw him."

Oh, this'll be fun . . . . . .
Ping. A. Ding.
Heh, heh. Yep.
disappearing story alert.
Well it's a start.
ping to you
Well, I am gobsmacked. A (chortle) King County Elections superintendent suspected (snicker) of illegal behavior? Who (titter) woulda thunk it? Why, that's the most squeaky-clean bunch of liars, thieves, and swindlers ever to stuff a ballot box!

Also a DUMMIE!!!!!!!! This is hilarious.
Isn't this the same county where they kept finding new ballots after each recount in the last governors race?
King County of all counties too.
What's up with that? ;-)
Sssshhhhhhhhhh................wouldn't want to bias potential jurors with the truth, now, would you??
You're right! The perp is a DU poster....
ROFLMAO!!
Well, you all got to see this.
It explains how "impersonators" of law-enforcement officials was actually the real thing.
One wonders how the next lie will turn out.....
Justice takes time......
Just read the DU link. The DUmmies are of course to a man, woman, and transgendred little lib, are talking frame up. LOL (Had to reword that old phrase to be PC) LOL
Yes it is. When she goes to trial they will probably give each juror at least 3 ballots to use for a verdict.
It's actually hilarious in DUmmieland now.
The FoA are frantically "kicking" older threads so as to make this one slowly recede into the back pages, where it is hoped the DUmmies won't see it.
She told me these false documents are otherwise known as BOOKMARKS or POST ITS.
She says stopped payment on documents because they were incomplet--less than half what she ordered.
GenericOther (the DUer who posted that), should probably be interviewed as a witness. If only the authorities knew about that thread...
OMG. Delicious. This is just too SWEEEEET! BTT.
In Washington state, she's just filling squares on her resume. With these credentials, she'll be elected to governor in a few years.
"Also a DUMMIE!!!!!!!! This is hilarious."
That is a definate confirm as one of the posters mentioned having talked to her. Oh this is so much fun. Reading claim that she was associated with their Saint Andy, so that is reason for a frame up.
Fact once again beats fiction in the humor department.
I met her at Andy's memorial. She helped organize Andy's memorial.
I suspect she's being targeted for her activities concerning voter verified paper trails. She definitely was one of Andy's insiders.
Seattle Post-Intelligencer:
Former King County Elections superintendent arrested
Seattle Weekly:
Former Elections Head Arrested
Democratic Underground:
A DUer I met at Andy's memorial has been arrested!
+"julie anne kempf" +"andy stephenson"
and came up with 166 results.
BTW, note the spelling of her middle name, "Anne." That apparently is how it is usually spelled.
The arrestee is described on DU in this way: "She definitely was one of Andy's insiders."
The P-I story says that Julie Anne Kempf had been fired from her job in 2002 for what officials called a "pattern of dishonesty."
But look at what Andy Stephenson wrote a couple of months ago, this from the votetrustusa.org website:
By Andy Stephenson
The following was written by Andy April 29, 2005. . . .
Now I know that I have gotten off track here and talked about all the bad guys in elections but there are people protecting your ballot. Some examples are Freddie Oakley of Yolo County California, Ion Sancho of Leon County Florida and Kevin Shelly and Julie Anne Kempf formerly of King County Washington. These people are examples of people working hard to protect our right to vote and in the case of Julie Anne losing their job in the process. . . .
She would have got away with it if it were a voting machine.....
DUmmies are soooooo predictable. I love when they start telling each other to watch what they say becuase "FReepers are laughing it up"
the results were supposed to be published 9-11-01.....b/c of 'unavoidable circumstances' they were finally published later....the meme the republicans tried to push 'oh, that report shouldn't be published; 9-11 changed everything'
W definitely did NOT win in 2000 and the 'results' of 2004 are looking more suspicious every day
I would love for Bush to walk into the White House Press room and say "I'm going to run in 2008 because the Constitution says I can...after all, I was selected, not elected in 2000 according the moonbats."
Sort of like Reagan's "we begin bombing in 5 minutes" tease.
Fixed
Or he could say Laura has decided that she likes the WH and will be a candidate in the next election.....That would REALLY upset Hill/Billy.
I'd vote for her in a heartbeat....She brought some class back the WH
From 1999:
Julie Anne Kempf, the county's Assistant Superintendent of Elections, turned up a set of documents that had been missing since November 1998. She claimed that the records -- monthly reports from King County's 33rd District Democrats -- had been in the office all along, but that they had been misfiled. Kempf's statement wouldn't have warranted a second look, except that the woman who was in charge of filing the reports in the first place is Kempf's mother, the 33rd District Dems' treasurer, Lucille Kempf. Julie Anne Kempf's sudden "discovery" of the errant documents has raised eyebrows among people familiar with the situation. They say Kempf may be pulling a fast one on state regulators (even going so far as to backdate the records) in order to cover her mother's behind. Link.

Shades of Hillary!
But I just checked the DU thread again, and guess what?
iconoclastNYC, post 19, suggests: She should have a very well funded defense. The grass roots should fund it.
Hey, gang! Let's put on another fundraiser!!!
<===Hasn't read the thread yet, but has a nagging feeling that they have.
"She blamed the problems on faulty computers and imperfect vote-counting procedures - contentions that were partly supported by Secretary of State Sam Reed during a 2003 review. Kempf initially challenged her dismissal, but then dropped it."
That Same Reed, hmmmm
Yeah, we have been accused.
It was expected.....three weeks ago.
The FoA, having never discovered the DUmmie FUnnies until three weeks into this issue, are still three weeks behind us.
A little DUmmie nepotism going on here, eh?
oooohhhhhh goody
