Here, take my hand, and I'll lead you along. The paragraph to which you objected: Just want to let long-term readers know that Washington's "generally well-conducted laughingstock election" is getting a lot more national attention, especially Shark's discovery of the King County ballot total/ registered voter total discrepancy. The "Shark" is Stefan Sharansky, who posts frequently on Soundpolitics.com and who was the person who requested and received the voter list from King County. A lie there? I think not. If you click on the link ("Shark's discovery") you get to his original post: "Smoking Gun" The Seattle Times' David Postman credits me with finding what could be the "smoking gun" to overturn the election: The latest questions about King County came after the elections office released on Wednesday a list of all registered voters in the county, broken down by those who voted and those who didn't. The Republican Party, among other groups, had requested the information as part of its investigation of voting irregularities. Conservative blogger Stefan Sharkansky pointed out the discrepancy Wednesday, and by yesterday it was Topic A among Rossi backers and Republican Party officials. Party Chairman Chris Vance said it could be the "smoking gun" needed to overturn the election. The number of King County ballots counted in the final tally was 899,199 — 3,539 more than the number of participating voters reported in the county's list. (I reported that here). I'll personally hold off on calling anything I've found a smoking gun. But the unanswered questions keep piling up. Scroll down to Precinct 3301. So, the list reflects the registered voters in the County and identifies those who participated in the Nov. 2 election. There are 3,539 more vots counted in the recount than there were particicpating voters. What's your point? Where's the "lie" you referred to?
