From Sound Politics: NYT: John McKay was "standing up for the integrity of the election system"
March 16, 2007

[KLP Note: Steven Sharkansky (Sound Politics) has been working on the McKay mess for months --I have inserted here, the actual links he refers to in his piece.

IF idiots like Leahy and Specter insist on having investigations, lets hope that people like Sharkansky have been doing their homework, and will make their voices heard......]


No, really: .. nytimes.com

By resisting pressure to crack down on "fraud," the fired United States attorneys actually appear to have been standing up for the integrity of the election system.

Let's recap: Two years after Democrat Christine Gregoire "won" the governor's race by 129 votes, the still-climbing tally of known illegal votes caused by negligence (or worse) in the Democrat-controlled King County Elections office is approaching 500. http://www.soundpolitics.com/archives/008195.html

Most of these were counted shortly before certification, when Gregoire appeared to be narrowly losing. King County actively concealed these illegal votes from the public and the contest trial.

Maybe innocent human error explains all of this. Maybe not. We'll never know without a thorough investigation, which McKay refused to conduct. soundpolitics.com

Was McKay really concerned about "integrity of the election system"? Or maybe he didn't want to perturb his own relationships in the local Democrat-dominated power structure?
