King County Mess is Growing

The mess continues to grow in the Washington Gubernatorial race (see previous AFV post).

Stefan Sharkansky, who publishes Sound Politics, discloses more detail and questions in the latest bomshell: King County election officials admit the Mail Ballot Report is "bogus." (HT: Michelle Malkin)

Sharkansky writes:

"The admission that the Mail Ballot Report is bogus is a very big deal. The canvassing board relied on this report to certify the election. If in fact the report deliberately covered up material facts about the election returns (say, that hundreds more ballots were counted than should have been counted) then not only should the election be set aside, but there should also be a criminal investigation."

"What King County officials did not say is how many absentee ballots really were returned. That number would shed more light on the mysterious discrepancy of 881 more absentee ballots counted than identifiable valid absentee voters. (hint: check if the total number of absentee ballots actually returned is less than the sum of the total number of ballots counted and the total number of ballots rejected) King County Elections has to know how many absentee ballots were actually returned. It's in the Absentee Ballot Audit Trail, which they have not yet released, even though I've been asking for it for weeks. Anybody care to guess why they're stonewalling on its release?"

Sound Politics is good reading...however, I really enjoy reading the comments under Sharkansky's post.  Wow!

Finally, I highly recommend visiting Michelle Malkin's site.  There is a great roundup of events and developments in the case.
