As reported here, The minority KC Council Republican members are calling for the outer of KC Elections Director Dean Logan, as well they should, after the total fiasco the election has been, especially in King County.
But Dem Council member Larry Phillips, has ridden to the defense of Logan, stating that what the Republicans are trying to do is merely a political ploy (can you say Vast Right Wing Conspiracy?) to discredit Logan. Piffle! Logan has done enough to discredit himself. The Republicans don't need to do this to "discredit" Logan. All they are attempting to do is urge King Sims to ask Logan to resign, so that the people see that actual change is happening in the Elections Department, which may possibly help to restore voter confidence in that office.
Will this pass the council, and go before King Sims? Probably not, but resistance to this will not look good for the Dems in the eyes of many people. The same holds true for Sims if by some slim chance that it does come before him, and he refuses to act.
Once again the Dems are looking foolish for stonewalling yet again, as they oppose every effort by the Republicans, and more importantly by the people, to make needed changes in the KC Elections Office.
All I can say to the Dems is keep it up. The next election cycle isn't that far away.
