Dori: Is it just a coincidence King County is sending duplicate ballots?

I got an email a few days ago from a listener named Dena, who received two ballots in the mail for the upcoming election. She wrote:

I thought you might be interested in this information: I went last week to get my enhanced drivers license. I received my ballot to vote in the mail today and received two ballots — one with my name with my middle initial, and one with my name and middle name spelled out. I am assuming that when I got my enhanced license I was double registered. I am going to contact the elections department to find out which ballot I should use. My concern is that everyone who is already registered to vote and gets their enhanced license is going to get two ballots. I am sure there are many people who will not be honest as I am and will vote twice. What are the checks and balances for this? I see this as a large problem since the enhanced licenses are to become mandatory in October 2020, just before the next election. I have emailed the department of elections

Our friends at heard a similar story from a Woodinville man. King County Elections admitted they send out “10s of thousands of second ballots” to voters every year because if your address changes, your eligibility for voting on different measures does too. This costs 10s of thousands of dollars in postage, as 成人X站 7 TV reported. However, King County Elections is assuring voters that no one is going to vote twice.

My question is, if there are two slightly different names, as in Dena’s case, does the computer program recognize that as the same person? Or will it look at that as two different people?

Why does this always seem to happen in King County? The cynic in me has my antenna as high as can be.

Dori: Dean Logan stole ’04 governor’s race, and he’s at it again in California

I am convinced that King County Elections and the Democrat Party blatantly stole the governor’s race from Dino Rossi and gave it to Christine Gregoire when they magically “found” a bunch of ballots in the second recount that allowed Gregoire to win. I covered that story extensively at the time in 2004, when everything about it reeked.

Now we have a measure on the ballot, I-976, that would refund to taxpayers billions of dollars that Sound Transit has overcharged you. Who wants this measure to fail? Government and most in the media — and when those two forces collude, they are powerful.

So, if King County blatantly stole a gubernatorial election about 15 years ago, and it is now sending out thousands of duplicate ballots, we should be very afraid. You know that 976 is going to pass by a flying margin in most areas of the state. The one county where it is almost certain to lose is liberal King County. And if the margin of no votes is overwhelmingly huge, that could determine the election.

I know the people in King County are bristling at the mere suggestion of this. But these things always seem to happen in King County — where government benefits from fraudulent voting the most.

Ask yourself, when they say the duplicate ballots are nothing to worry about — do you buy it?
