More about the magical mystery ballots
Sound Politics

Here is yet another fascinating detail about the 561 573 595 735 723 Ukrainian magical mystery ballots that were found in a samovar last week. From a memo by King County Superintendent of Elections Bill Huennekens that was offered in an exhibit by the Washington state GOP in its successful motion in Pierce County Court:

* As the election was administered and these ballots were received, we can confirm that 423 of these voters were sent a letter asking for an updated signature.
* If the voter sent back the completed letter, the signature was compared and the ballot accepted if the signature matched.
* If the voter did not return the letter, the ballots were kept secured in the vault and not tabulated and no reserach was done to find the voter's original registration form.
* Before certification of the Election on November 17, 2004, each of these ballots was reviewed again and researched.
* At certification of the election, these ballots were accounted for in the mail ballot report as signature mis-comparisons.

For some reason I haven't seen this in any newspaper, or on the "I'd hate to make a fool of myself" blog of the Democratic braintrust. Posted by Stefan Sharkansky
