Another outside audit?

The KC Council is proposing an outside accounting firm do an audit of the KC election office, procedures, etc. This is apart from the 'blue ribbon panel' that King Sims has already set up, and guess what? It was proposed by - surprise! - Dem. Bob Ferguson, and co-sponsered by Rep's Kathy Lambert and Reagan Dunn, with Ferguson stating, as it appears in this article, "This would be a firm with no agenda whatsoever to conduct a top-to-bottom, detailed and unbiased report and bring that information right back to the council," said Democratic Councilman Bob Ferguson, an original co-sponsor of the bill. "Then, we let the chips fall where they may."

The KC Council is currently made up of 13 council members, 7 Dems and 6 Reps (which will soon be reduced to 9 members, as voted by the people), and I wonder how many of the other 6 Dems will go along with Councilman Ferguson's statement about letting the chips fall where they may. I mean, with all of the problems in the KC Elections office, and the fact that all of those problems benefitted the Dems, if this accounting firm says they found fraud (which I think they will), and that fraud points directly at the State or County Dem Party, do you think for one minute that the other 6 Dem council members (or even Ferguson himself) will sit quietly by, and let the chips fall where they may?

I certainly don't.
