As reported here, King County may soon join most of the other counties in Washington State, and have all mail-in voting by 2007.
I have some reservations about this:
All mail-in voting makes voter fraud easier (giving Dems more of an advantage);
I don't see any provisions where voter registration will be tightened up to prevent the same problems as occurred in 2004 from happening again (giving Dems more of an advantage);
King County election staffers will be the people in charge of implementing the change over, the very same people who caused most of the problems in 2004 (giving Dems more of an advantage).
I would be more comfortable with this if all eligible voters were required to re-register, providing valid residential addresses, and proof of eligibility to vote, eliminating post office box, self-storage facilities, and other such "residences", as well as felons and dead people from the voter registration rolls, which I don't see being required, Secretary of State Sam Reed's, and King County Executive Ron Sim's assurances that "all will be well" notwithstanding.
