The ballot's in the mail, for all of King County

As reported here, all mail-in voting in King County will begin in 2007. That bodes ill for those of us concerned with free and fair elections, not only in King County, but in Washington State, after the fiasco that was the 2004 election.

The Evergreen Freedom Foundation has compiled a database hi-lighting the criminal activities that occurred throughout Washington State during that election, and the lack of enforcement of the laws on our books (a total of eight people have been prosecuted in KC - eight!). Secretary of State Sam Reed (RINO), sees "no problems" with all mail-in voting (as I've posted about before), nor is he upset in any way with what happened in 2004, saying that the new voter registration database will somehow, mysteriously, make all of those "problems" disappear.

Hogwash.

The state voter registration database will not stop people from attempting voter fraud - neither by an individual voter, nor by a county employee working in a county elections department - nor will all mail-in voting. The best that the state voter registration database will do is keep voter fraud to a minimum, while all mail-in voting will only increase opportunities for those who desire to commit fraud to do so.

Note: RCW means Revised Code of Washington, while WAC means Washington Administrative Code, both of which comprise the laws of Washington State.
