Felons Operating the Vote in Seattle
According to an article in the Seattle Weekly, two convicted felons are part of the King County voting machine. I'd speculate that most of the people involved with King County elections are de facto criminals, including King County Executive Ron Sims. And who could forget Ron Sims' computer scandal? The Seattle media, that's who.

Nor am I comforted by the publicity the Weekly gave to "activist" Bev Harris. Other "activists" the Seattle Weekly have endorsed include Green Party of Seattle whore Brita Butler-Wall.

I think elections are history in Seattle. I honestly think it would be nearly impossible for an honest candidate to get elected, even if more than 50% of the voters endorsed him or her. The Seattle Chamber of Commerce simply won't allow a reformer to take office.

I've run for office three times, and I was utterly sickened by the charade. And King County is run by DEMOCRATS.

1. Two points
1) King County is not the employer, Diebold is.

From the article:
Elder says he cannot comment due to the policy of his employer, Diebold Election Systems—itself the target, nationwide, for activist scrutiny of its election computer systems.

2) King County is not run by Democrats.
A majority of the council members are right of center.


And isn't Dean Logan, the head of elections, a Republican?
