Ballot-bag problems may slow counting of 8th District votes (Washington State, of course)

"Ballot-bag problems may slow counting of 8th District votes"

 

King County Elections staff said about 100 bags -- containing up to 20,000 absentee ballots that had been dropped off at polling sites on Election Day -- remain uncounted because of an array of problems caused by the bags' being overstuffed.

 

Jim Buck, King County's interim elections director, acknowledged that the problems -- including broken zippers and unclosed bag seals -- could potentially have allowed ballots to be cast after voting ended.

Not clear yet whether any of the ballots are actually ineligible, and it's unlikely there could be nearly enough ballots to reverse Reichert's lead. But Darcy Burner is encouraged
"If you were going to have a Democrat win this district ... this would be the way it would play out," she said.
What would Democrats do without ballots of questionable provenance?

My God. They aren't even going to fake honesty this time.

If it goes as far as last time, thank goodness we don't have Chris Vance hiring the legal counsel.

Apparently, the Democrat consensus now is that faking honesty is far too much trouble and resource-intensive, and is not required anyhow due to the enthusiastic support of our local hard-Left media.  They most likely feel that using such efforts toward other ends is a better use of resources.

Those broken zippers might have let some dead Democrat ballots fall out, thus cheating the cheaters. We couldn't have that, could we?

Between the illegals,dead people and people voting twice the Democrats should never lose. America needs another revolution to restore truth and honesty to the voting process and as long as liberals have the say we will never do that.

The only "problem" is that they really don't want to count those ballots.

Is it too soon to see a track record on such matters since 2004?  Have there been recent legal issues here which cause you to have hope and optimism?

Or is it more a matter of "Anybody but Chris Vance has got to be an improvement!"

Just curious.

Do you have hope for an honest count in Colorado?  Have you had a history of contested / fraudulent elections there?

Or, do you not have much hope mainly because Denver is controlled by Demon-crats?

Denver is both a city and a county with the same boundaries.

The DUmmies will control it forever. It is an open city for Mexicans, drugs, back room deals...

The rural areas are still honest but we are being overwhelmed by the liberals from California and Mexico who expand the state populations.

State ballot questions like same sex marriage lose because the Mexican are catholic and vote against it.

Senate, congessional, and local state house races are increasingly going left. It will get much worse soon.

No need for fraud in Denver or Boulder. They are 80 percent liberals.
