Election Reform Taskforce in Pasco

Last night the temporary Governor's Election Reform Taskforce brought their road show to Pasco. The meeting was probably very much like all the other so far. Sam Reed gave his talk about the election process and the proposals he has put forward etc. then it was turned over to the audience for comments.

The very first guy up was an off the left cliff liberal. He actually said "Everyone who LIVES in Washington State should be allowed to vote and we should not be putting roadblocks in their way." Most of the audience was in shock, the rest either laughed or boo'd. Those in shock came out of it and joined the booers'. Unbelieveable!

That pretty much shut the liberals down. Any remaining presented few and cautious words. For the most part, everyone had the same comments. Delete the current registration rolls, require everyone to re-register, require proof of eligibility, was a constant refrain. Other comments were made regarding the election process that again echo things that most of us have supported.

There were numerous county auditors and their underlings present. I found it interesting that in the end when one of the Taskforce members asked for a show of hands as he read off a list of comments they had received, the majority of the audience raised their hands in agreement, while the auditors etc. were the nay's.

One of the auditors got up and spoke at the end and actually scolded the voters for not taking an interest until there was a close race and their candidate did not win. Hmmmmm. Well guess who that ticked off...so I got my 2nd chance at the mic:/

This is NOT about WHO won this race. It is about HOW they won it. I told her and the audience that I, like most had believed that our elections in this state were run fairly, honestly and accurately. However when the light shone down on the process we discovered that was not the case. They were not fair, they were not honest and they are STILL not accurate.

There was one man there who said his daughter was aware of a situaton in King County where the Democrats went through the registration rolls and found voters who had not voted in the last 4 elections and so took it upon themselves to go vote for them. The actually went to the poll, signed in as this person, and voted.

I give credit to the retired Senator Betti Sheldon. She did ask the guy if his daughter had reported that and he said yes. I talked with him afterwards and it turns out his daughter works for the Rossi campaign so we can be sure they are well aware of it. It amazes me how low these people will stoop in order to cheat...no I am going to use that dreaded F word...in order to commit FRAUD.

Local news coverage was also as expected. It did not begin to portray the attitude of the crowd...just a typical democrat wash.
