As reported here, "Voters in King County will get to decide whether to elect the official who runs the county elections department, the County Council said Tuesday.
"But they won't make the decision until 2009, when the proposal will go on the November ballot as an amendment to the county charter, the council decided. If voters approve the idea, which would bring King County in line with every other county in the state, the first election to fill the job would take place in 2010.
"The delay was requested by County Executive Ron Sims, who now appoints the elections director, subject to council confirmation."
What this means is, Ron Sims will once again be able to appoint one of his cronies, or someone he feels "comfortable" with, due to his or her political leanings, to oversee the county Elections Department for the next three and half to four years, and that means that the state Dems will still have an unfair advantage during election time - for the next three election cycles.
Got to hand it to you, Ron. You are a master at political manipulation for political gain, the voters wishes notwithstanding. Even after the last several years of fiasco's and outright fraud, you've managed to get your wishes by manipulating the council to delay something that the voters want to happen now.
All I can say to that Ron, is that our day is coming, whether you like it or not.
