From an article in the P-I, Washington Secretary of State Sam Reed is ready and willing (not too sure about the 'able' part) to conduct a 'review' into the myriad problems found in the KC Elections office over the conduct of this past Novembers election.
However, he needs 'permission' from either 'King' Sims, or the full county council in order to do that (some of our laws here are so dumb!), and a spokesperson for Sims said that they would welcome an 'outside audit' of the election office.
Note to 'King' Sims and Sam Reed - this should not be a simple 'audit' or 'review', but a full blown investigation! Make it happen, and soon, Sam!
UPDATE: As reported today in the P-I here, a citizens commission has been formed to 'review' just what happened in King County during and after the election, with their report due sometime in July.
Will this commission be non-partisan? Will any recommendations they come up with be implemented? Hard to say right now, but we can always hope.
