Sound Politics - ing County Elections "Enron Math"

The King County Elections scandal, along with its many other disturbing facets, is a kind of an accounting scandal, not unlike Fannie Mae or Enron. Because the numbers simply don't add up. After three "certified" vote counts, the numbers have never added up and they never will add up. [See the extended entry for the apropos source of the phrase "Enron Math"!]

I cannot say whether this accounting scandal is attributable to deliberate fraud like Enron was. At the very least it looks like willful ignorance if not criminal negligence. Simply put, none of the three counts should have been certified by the canvassing board. Let's take a look at the polling place ballots for a manageable example. soundpolitics.com
