Revisited with New information: When in doubt, form a commission.

The unending agony of the King County Elections Office continues…

Anyone capable of reading a newspaper, listening to a radio or watching TV has seen the blood spilled at that office. Even County Executive Ron Sims has called it a question of competence… and on that, I agree.

Steps need to be taken both at the state and county levels to address these issues.

Now, as previously noted, democrats will do nothing… that is, take no substantive step to address issues that lend themselves to fraud and other forms of illegal voting, because they, of course, have made the decision that they benefit from the fraud vote. Likewise, Republicans have made the same decision, to the extent that they acknowledge democrat benefit of the fraud vote, and, coincidentally, Republican principles support enforcing the law to insure those voting have that right and those denied that right do not vote.

So… How do the democrats deal with this particular hot potato?

They name a commission. And in this instance (I'm sure THIS will stun you!) they put a safe democrat in charge of this "non-partisan... unbiased" commission.

Inofrmation from soundpolitics.com spells it out: here's the campaign donations Ms. Scott has made... 90% plus to democrats and their campaigns.

Boy, they’ll be some changes made from THAT, WON'T there?

King County Executive Ron Sims today named a blue-ribbon commission to investigate the county elections office's handling of the 2004 election and propose reforms.

Sims' 10-member commission, to be chaired by Cheryl Scott, retired president and CEO of Group Health Cooperative, would meet weekly to look at management, operations, staffing and other issues in the running of the county elections office.

Sims hopes the commission will issue a final report by mid-July.
