I hope it has been pointed out to the Judges involved that these are also missing or uncounted votes that should be found and counted if the newly found King Co. votes are allowed to be counted. Sig I lived in Tukwila for 20 years, and found the K C board of supervisors to be strong-handed people, an attitude of being above the lesser citizens of more rural areas.

From Sound Politics: FLASH> KING5 reports: From the Supreme Court: OLYMPIA, Wash. — The Supreme Court of Washington has decided that over 700 disputed King County ballots should be included in recount for Washington governor - a decision that could very well decide the astoundingly close race between Republican Dino Rossi and Democrat Christine Gregoire. I wonder if that ruling will also enable us to verify the eligibility of each and every one of the Precinct 1823 voters.

I'll also be on the Stephanie Sandlin Show, KSBN 1230, Spokane during the 5pm hour today Posted by Stefan Sharkansky at 01:05 PM \| Comments (1) Categories: 2004 Governor's Race Precinct 1823 Crunching the data in the King Ukraine County voter registration file, I came across precinct SEA 37-1823, or simply Precinct 1823, located in downtown Seattle between Elliot Bay and I-5 near the James St. exit. Precinct 1823 has 763 registered "Active" voters. 527 of them list as their residence address 500 4th Ave -- the King County Administration Building. 241 of these voters specifically note their apartment number as #553, which is the room number of the ... King Ukraine County Records and Elections office. Over 300 of these alleged "voters" give 500 4th Ave. (with or without the Elections office room number) as both their residence and mailing addresses. Several of the other Elections Office residents give overseas mailing addresses, such as Anuj Rathi of Mumbai, India, Rayko Suzuki of Tokyo, Japan, and Pascal Engi of Bern, Switzerland. Another 48 of the Precinct 1823 "voters" give as their residence address 511 3rd Ave, which appears to be some sort of private mailbox service. And then there are the two Messrs. Harder -- Mike Harder of 509 3rd Ave. Apt. 507, who registered to vote on April 28, 2004 and Michael D. Harder of 509 3rd Ave. Apt. 507, who registered to vote on July 20, 2004. Both Messrs. Harder are flagged as permanent absentee voters. 465 (61%) of the Precinct 1823 voters registered during 2004 and nearly all of them "live" at 500 4th Ave. By contrast, only 13% of all of King County voters registered in 2004. 3 members of the List of 573 Magical Mystery Voters are from Precinct 1823, 2 of whom "live" at the Elections Office. In the machine recount, Precinct 1823 gave 203 votes to Gregoire and 87 votes to Rossi, for a net Gregoire lead of 116 votes. The only way for Christine Gregoire to win the governor's race is to carry Precinct 1823 in a landslide. UPDATE: Elections Superintendent Bill Huennekens explained that the residents of the Elections office are "homeless individuals", and that there is a special section of the administrative code which allows for that. He sees nothing unusual in the fact that some of these so-called homeless individuals also give mailing addresses elsewhere. I asked him what the county did to verify the identities of individuals who list the elections office as their residence and he said that they can't be treated any differently from anybody else. I take that to mean, that anybody on the planet who wants to vote (or vote again) can simply claim to be a resident of the King County Elections office.
