Changes in KC Elections Office

As reported here, Superintendent Bill Huennekens has been demoted to a lower paying job within the department to oversee compliance with the 2002 election reform laws passed by the Feds. Oh, and by the way, this is a newly created position, that I think was created to specifically retain Bill Huennekens - the guy who gave the okay to submit the falsified absentee voter reconciliation to the Canvassing Board.

In the article the phrase " an ongoing overhaul ... " is used, but that isn't accurate in this case. An overhaul implies change, beyond simply moving people around to different positions, in my opinion.

A real overhaul would see Bill Huennekens having to apply for unemployment benefits, along with his boss Dean Logan. Oh, and I can't forget King County Executive Ron Sims, too. All three need to go before real change will come to the KC Elections Office.
