As reported here, King County Elections Director Dean Logan has resigned, effective July 14th. As a result, KC Executive Ron "King" Sims has delayed implementing the all vote by mail program until at least 2008, and possibly even later than that. Logan will be taking a job with Los Angeles County in California.
After the total fiasco of the 2004 gubernatorial race, where so many problems arose, that were both partially and directly attributable to Logan's mismanagement of the Elections office, this comes as extremely good news, with the added bonus that there will be a further delay in the implementation of the vote by mail program (boy, do I ever want to say "scheme") that Sims so desperately wants to see happen here, even though the County is not prepared for it, both from a security standpoint, and a cost effectiveness standpoint - not to mention that VBM makes it even easier to commit vote fraud.
As to who Sims will name to replace Logan remains to be seen, but I'm guessing that it will more than likely be another Sims political crony.
