Ballots are now arriving at voters homes in King County, and some complain they're getting more than one.

"What I found this morning were two ballots, the first one has my first and last name. The second one has my first, middle, and last name," Tracy Maxwell tells KING 5. "People are voting this weekend for the President of the United States, and there's mistakes happening."

But King County Elections officials say it's not a big problem because protections are in place to ensure only one ballot per person is counted.

Yeah, that's totally reassuring. I'm guessing they also have safeguards in place to make sure everyone only gets a single ballot, too...

I hate this state. All mail-in voting is just BEGGING for fraud.

And the only "proof" that you're the voter is your signature.

I once ran in the 46th District, Northeast Seattle.

There was one precinct that was quite small, and dense with voters; an Assisted Living Facility.

For that precinct, 100% of the votes went against me.

Other precincts were 80% / 20%. :-) It’s a pretty liberal area.

But I wonder, exactly which employee stole all the ballots and filled them out identically?

Only the military, and the fully disabled should be allowed to vote absentee ballot by mail.

Dino lost because of hundreds of votes cast by felons backing the Democrat. ‘Rats will be rats. That’s WA liberal “justice” for you.

Those would be the protections for sending only one ballot to a voter too, eh?

Voter fraud in Seattle?... Say its not so..
Could be Washington State republicans could care less about voter fraud..

We’ll see what they “DO” about it..
They already KNOW it gonna happen.. are they prepared.. have they got a “plan(s)”?..

They need NAMES of people to prosecute.. not merely a bitch fest..
Did I say THEY ALREADY KNOW ITS GONNA HAPPEN?..
as it always has happened..

Washington State is quite corrupt.. as is Oregon..
Not on the level of Chicago or New York City.. but their LEARNING..

“it’s not a big problem because protections are in place to ensure only one ballot per person is counted.”

Typo, they left out a word:

“it’s not a big problem because protections are in place to ensure only one Republican ballot per person is counted.”

After all, they have the person’s name and can easily match it to the party registration.

Ballots with your name on them? What happened to the secret ballot?

For the ballot you mail in, there are two envelopes, one inside the other. The outer envelope has a place for your signature after a statement. The inner envelope is generic. After a poll worker verifies your signature, the inner envelope is removed from the outer, and they are permanently separated. Later the ballots are counted.

If the ballot is not signed, exactly as it appears on the registration card, it supposed to be thrown out. So, if the middle initial is on the registration card, it must be on the ballot.

Anyone who receives two ballots should go down to the registrar of voters office and demand to see both registration cards. It sounds as though they automatically registered a lot of people who got new drivers’ licenses, without removing the initial registration. This is very, very serious because if there are duplicate registrations with slightly different names, the ballot will go through.
