Absentee Ballots

Air Force Voices is following the King County election mess in the Washington Gubernatorial election since it directly impacts military voters who are deployed overseas or stationed in another state (see previous posts).

Brian Crouch at Sound Politics has an update on the King County Mess.  Sound Politics confirms suspicions about military votes and reports (HT: Michelle Malkin):

"Lt. Bryan Suits recently home from combat in Iraq, used [Sound Politics' voter dabase] to discover that his general election absentee ballot was not counted. Actually, what he saw in the database search result was a hash mark... curious, he called King County elections, who confirmed that although his vote was counted in the primary, he was not credited with voting in the November election..."

"...Oh, incidentally, Bryan is back at his job as a talk show host on KVI 570, nightly 6-9 pm. During his time in Iraq, he gave boots-on-the-ground reports to KVI, Fox News, Tony Snow's radio show, BBC, and other media. Of all people to be disenfranchised... they picked the wrong soldier. And his wife knows a thing or two about law enforcement: Suits was active duty military-- his vote was quite probably mishandled by the elections department, and he has an unimpeachable witness to that possibility."

"This is now a federal matter, and the FBI can investigate it."

"That's the first call he's going to place tomorrow."

"King County may have just reaped yet another whirlwind."

Air Force Voices joins Michelle Malkin in asking, "How many other troops were disenfranchised?"

Where is the outrage?  Where are the MSM/DNC stories about how every vote must be counted? 

Since this is now a federal matter, where are Congressional Democrats?  Where are the Republicans?  Sound politics has some answers. 

In either case, I am not holding my breath.
