Lots of Voting Problems in Washington
Lots of links to Sound Politics today. Sharkansky is suing the secretary of state of Washington to get access to voters birth dates. He writes
I'd rather not spend my nights and weekends identifying illegal voters, but somebody has to, and our famous election officials are refusing to do so, saying it's the electorate's job. That's fine, but at least they can share the data that they possess, but are refusing to use, with the public so we can do the jobs that we thought we were paying them to do.
There are also absentee ballot problems with around 500 more absentee ballots than absentee voters.
I'll post more details later about how absentee ballots are processed. But what seems to have happened (if it wasn't outright ballot stuffing) is that somebody who was canvassing absentee ballots permitted (presumably in error) large numbers of rejected ballots to go into the do-count pile. Ouch.

As best as I can tell, the number of unverified provisional ballots that went through the Accuvote machines in King County was about 927.
Provisional votes should not be counted until after it is confirmed that they are from a valid voter (verified),
